Police Investigate Homicide At Tulsa Senior Living Facility

Tulsa police investigate a homicide at a senior living facility on Friday.          

TPD says they first got a call just after 1 p.m. to a "shots fired" in the Country Club Gardens Apartments just northwest of downtown. When they got to the complex, they found a resident dead in the lobby, having been shot several times. Police say the suspected shooter, who also lives in the complex, had returned to his own apartment and threatened to kill himself.

Police flooded the area and quickly talked the man into surrendering. No one else was injured.

"He was a continuing threat,” said Captain Richard Meullenberg, Tulsa Police. “He had just shot someone in the lobby of an apartment complex filled with senior citizens. So when officers first arrived they had no idea what they were dealing with."

Police have not yet released the names of anybody involved.

The suspect is downtown at the detective division and they'll determine whether charges should be filed.
