The quiet of a Sunday morning was disrupted by the sound of gunfire near NW 23rd Street and MacArthur Boulevard in Oklahoma City, resulting in one person hospitalized while police officers rapidly responded to the unfolding chaos. According to KFOR, a call came in just before noon to alert police of a victim with a gunshot wound. The source reported that a woman driving by stopped to assist a man who was discovered bleeding and lying in the street.
A subsequent investigation by Oklahoma City Police Department led by Captain Michelle Henderson believed the shooting originated from a dispute between two men at a nearby apartment complex. "When we got there, it was an altercation between two men, one shot the other," Captain Henderson told KFOR. The suspect was later located hiding and was promptly arrested. Meanwhile, KOCO confirmed the victim was transported to a local hospital, though details regarding the severity of the injuries were not immediately available.
Police efforts to quickly contain the situation have resulted in as many as seven or eight individuals being taken into custody, as noted by News 9. Authorities are still piecing together the events that transpired and the investigation remains ongoing. Officials assure the public that there seems to be no immediate threat following the incident.
