As per the deputy police chief of Tulsa Eric Dalgleish, multiple shots were fired on the second floor of the Natalie Building on the St. Francis Hospital campus. Notably, the incident happened on the day when Tulsa was observing the 101st anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre.
Within three minutes of the call, the Police reached the spot. The first respondents on the scene were able to hear the gunshots coming from the building. Within five minutes, first contact was made with the victims and the suspect, said Dalgleish. He added, “The scene is fairly limited to one section of that floor, on the second floor.”
When asked about the response time of the Police to such calls, he said, “I will say Tulsa revisits that topic regularly. I was very happy with what we know so far regarding the response of our officers.”
The said building has doctors’ offices, including an orthopedic center. The Police believe the shooter might be a patient or an employee. However, by the time this report was published, Police were still trying to determine the identity of the shooter. No details were made public about his motive behind the shooting.
