I am in touch with the City Manager & the Police Chief. As OCPD has reported, the suspect is dead. OCPD asks that everyone avoid East Wharf tonight so that they can complete their investigation at the scene. https://t.co/0B2umP8cJz

Thankfully the good guys got him stopped before he could cause more damage. According to the Oklahoma City area TV stations, he was a mental case.

There were actually two armed citizens who engaged him and he wound up being the only one killed.

I doubt mainstream media will touch it.
