TULSA, OKLAHOMA (REUTERS) - A man armed with a rifle and handgun killed four people inside a medical building in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Wednesday (June 1) before fatally shooting himself, police said, in the latest of a series of mass shootings to rattle the United States.

Two weeks before the Uvalde shooting, a white gunman killed 10 people at a supermarket in a Black neighbourhood in Buffalo, New York.

Oklahoma football: College Football News not high on Sooner ... (Stormin' In Norman)

College Football News has Oklahoma football looking up at the top of the conference again in 2022 and headed to a secondary bowl assignment.

But one thing we can predict with all certainty is that this isn’t going to be the same Oklahoma football team we’ve been watching the past five seasons. We won’t have the answer to that question until the real games kick off in September. Would that be enough to earn a spot in the conference championship game? which tells us that the college football number-crunching eggheads expect the Sooners to lose two Big 12 games in the coming season. Would it be good enough to win the conference? After all, getting to the conference championship game is just half the battle.

5 Dead In Oklahoma Hospital Shooting, Tulsa Police Say (Forbes)

Oklahoma has suffered its second mass shooting in a public place this week, police said.

The incident at St. Francis Hospital came just days after one person was killed and seven were injured in a shooting at a Memorial Day event in Taft, Oklahoma—about 45 miles from Tulsa. Plus, a gunman at a Texas elementary school killed 19 children and two adults last week, and 10 people were killed by a shooter at a Buffalo supermarket last month. In recent weeks, several deadly shootings across the U.S. have drawn national attention. Four people were killed in a shooting at a hospital in Tulsa on Wednesday, and the gunman also died, local police announced, marking Oklahoma’s second mass shooting in a public space in three days.

Most of the times I’ve seen Seether, they started the show with tis song. They finished up with Shoot it Out before leaving the stage. Next up was 10 Years. They have toured with Seether before. Then they closed out the set with two big hits – Fake it and Remedy. While it wasn’t the longest set ever, it was a solid as they come – something I’ve come to expect from Seether. They kicked off with Electrified then went into Dizzy. That was followed by Gasoline and Better Times. Their high energy set continued with Set You Free then Lowlife. They ended with Holy Ghost and the crowd seemed pleased with the set and would welcome Crobot back. The Seether tour made a stop in Oklahoma City this week, bringing 10 Years and Crobot along to make for a great show.

Tulsa, Oklahoma, medical center attack: 4 killed in latest mass ... (USA TODAY)

A gunman shot and killed at least four people and himself Wednesday on the St. Francis Health System campus in Tulsa, Oklahoma, police say. Latest.

Those shootings have left 76 dead, including 31 adults and children in Buffalo and Texas, the database says. At least four people were killed in the shooting besides the suspected gunman, and several others were injured, police said. The shooting suspect later turned himself in. Johnnie Munn arrived at the reunification site Wednesday night to help provide food, water and emotional support. This time, he responded to a fatal attack in his hometown. Four minutes later, police said officers arrived at the location. "It's surreal and aggravating," Munn said. “Oklahoma’s hospitals, clinics and doctors’ offices are places for healing and should be safe for all,” Holden said. He deliberately made a choice to come here and his actions were deliberate." Oklahoma State Medical Association President Dr. David Holden said in a statement the organization was heartbroken to learn of the loss of lives at the Tulsa hospital. He's attended to victims at the site of the deadliest U.S. mass shooting in Las Vegas in 2017, where 60 people were killed. Four people were killed Wednesday in a shooting at a medical center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, police said, the latest in a wave of deadly gun violence occurring across the United States.

Gunman also dead, police deputy chief says, apparently from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were at the scene. Those shootings have left 76 dead, including 31 adults and children in Buffalo and Texas. The death toll does not include the suspects. “But it was definitely a ‘this is happening here’ moment.” Dalgleish said an orthopedic clinic is located on the second floor where officers discovered the shooter and several victims. Tankersley said he and his mother sheltered in his father’s room for more than an hour, trying to learn information from TV news and passing nurses. “It appears both weapons at one point or another were fired on the scene,“ Dalgleish said.

Tiare Jennings' Grand Slam Propels Oklahoma to Run Rule Win ... (CalBearsMaven)

The Sooners overcame an early deficit to blow past the Northwestern Wildcats, setting up a rematch with Texas on Saturday in Oklahoma City.

Oklahoma’s third baseman smacked a pitch into the right field bleachers, extending the Sooner lead to 13-1 with OU’s second grand slam of the game. Johns led Oklahoma with five RBIs on the day in a 2-for-3 hitting performance. The senior pitcher forced a pair of non-threatening pop-ups before striking out Lauren Caldrone to retire the side in order. Jayda Coleman drew a leadoff walk, and then quickly was rerouted to second base via a Jocelyn Alo single. Oklahoma then took the momentum and ran with it. Before time had even been called, Boone ignited her dugout and the pro-OU crowd with a few massive fist pumps at second base.

Needless to say, coach Patty Gasso’s squad looks poised to make a lot more noise as the tourney continues. With an absurd 39 run-rule victories to their name this season, the 55–2 Sooners sent a message to the rest of the tournament field while putting the sports world on high alert going forward. After both teams went scoreless through the first two innings, the Sooners ran wild in the third with six runs, four of which came courtesy of a grand slam from first-team All-American Tiare Jennings. OU increased its lead in the fourth with another seven runs, thanks in part to a second grand slam sent into orbit by third baseman Jana Johns.

The Sooners were able to give Bahl that opportunity by clubbing two grand slams -- the first by Jennings in the third inning and the second by Johns in the fourth. "She's made differently in and people see that," Gasso said. "It's really thinking ahead and strategizing with a young lady who has been dying to get on this mound and struggling through it.
