Five people are reportedly dead, including the gunman following a mass shooting incident at an Oklahoma City hospital on Wednesday, June 1.

The incident allegedly took place at an orthopedic office of the Natalie Medical Building at St. Francis Hospital in Tulsa at around 5:00 p.m. according to Tulsa Deputy Police Chief Eric Dalgleish during a press conference.

Police responded to a report of a man inside the building armed with a rifle and a handgun. The situation escalated and became an active shooter situation per reports.

The identity of the man was not divulged. However, he was reportedly between 35 and to 40-years-old. At one point, he eventually turned the gun on himself. Also, the shooter was not wearing any kind of body armor at the time.

As for the shooting incident, the motive behind it has yet to be known. The people killed in the incident have yet to be identified as of this writing.

Aside from those who perished, there were also reportedly less than 10 people who were injured but for non-life-threatening injuries. It has yet to be explained how they got hurt from the incident.

One resident of Tulsa, Nicholas O’ Brien, was at the medical complex to visit his mother at the time. When he heard about the shooting, he rushed to the scene.

“They were rushing people out. I don’t know if some of them were injured or just have been injured during the shooting, but some of them couldn’t walk very well. But they were just kind of wobbling and stumbling and getting them out of there,” he said in a report from the Associated Press.

“I was pretty anxious. So once I got here and then I heard that she (his mother) was OK, the shooter had been shot and was down, I felt a lot better. It still is horrible what happened,” he added.
