Friday afternoon, a whole street in the neighborhood near 151st Street and Harvard was blocked off as a precaution, and neighbors said they were asked by law enforcement to stay in their homes or leave the area.
Bixby West Elementary and Intermediate Schools were put on lockdown for a short time, out of an abundance of caution, the district said.
The FBI has taken over the case due to the recent Supreme Court ruling on tribal jurisdiction.
This is a developing story.
