STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — An argument at a private off-campus
party escalated into a shooting outside an Oklahoma State
University residence hall early Sunday, wounding three people
including a student, school police said.
Two victims were hospitalized in stable condition after surgery
and the third was treated and released, university police Chief
Michael Beckner told reporters.
No arrests have been made, but he said said police have “some
solid leads” and are asking for the public's help. Investigators
do not believe there's an ongoing threat to the campus or
public.
The shooting erupted in an outdoor hallway at the Carreker East
student apartments and spilled into a parking lot and nearby
street, Beckner said, following a “disagreement between several
people” at the party.
Officers responded after a report of a person collapsing from
injuries at a McDonald's restaurant and calls of shots on
campus, he said. When officers arrived on campus at about 3:40
a.m., no victims remained at the scene. Officers secured the
area and took about 20 people present to a secure location for
their safety and to begin interviews, the chief said.
The university is located in the city of Stillwater, about 50
miles (80 kilometers) northeast of Oklahoma City.
