An argument at the Dunjee Apartments in northeast Oklahoma City exploded into gunfire Tuesday night, leaving two men wounded after police say they opened fire on each other, then drove to a nearby park to meet first responders. Both were taken to local hospitals and are expected to survive. Investigators say one man was shot in the head while the other was hit multiple times.
What police say
Oklahoma City police told News 9 the two men got into an altercation inside the apartment complex before the confrontation escalated and they "opened fire on each other." Detectives have not yet released any suspect names or announced charges as they continue on-scene work and follow-up interviews.
How the scene unfolded
According to investigators, the disturbance inside the Dunjee Apartments turned into an exchange of gunfire between the two men. They then left the complex and drove to Minnis Lakeview Park so emergency crews could easily find them. First responders from the Oklahoma City Police Department and EMS treated both men at the park before transporting them to area hospitals. Police have not said whether anyone else was involved or if any weapons were recovered at the apartment complex.
Where it happened
The shooting was reported in the area of NE 36th Street and North Hiwassee Road, a corridor that sits between residential neighborhoods and several small parks, including Minnis Lakeview Park. As reported by News 9, investigators are still putting together the timeline and asking anyone with information to reach out to detectives.
Investigation ongoing
Police say the investigation remains active and are urging witnesses, or anyone with video or other tips, to come forward to help determine what led up to the shooting. The Oklahoma City Police Department has not released the victims' identities or discussed a possible motive while the work continues.
