An unidentified man with a rifle and a handgun stormed into St. Francis Hospital in Tulsa, Oklahoma said he was looking for a doctor, then proceeded to shoot and kill four innocent people before turning the gun on himself.

The slaughter took place in the Natalie Medical Building on the second floor at about 4:50 p.m. on Wednesday. The building is primarily used for sports medicine and orthopedic surgery.

“What happened today in Tulsa is a senseless act of violence and hatred. Sarah and I are praying for the families of those who lost their lives and for those who were injured,” Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt stated in response to the horrific event.

“I am grateful for the quick and brave actions of the Tulsa Police Department and other first responders who did their best to contain a terrible situation. I have offered Mayor G.T. Bynum any state resources that may be needed, and I ask all Oklahomans to come together in support of the Saint Francis Health System community and to grieve with those whose lives have been forever changed,” he added.

City Councilor Jayme Fowler told reporters that the gunman was looking for “Dr. Phillips” when he went on his killing spree. It is unknown if the doctor was among the shooter’s victims, according to the Daily Mail.

Originally, police were also investigating whether the gunman had planted a bomb at a residence in Muskogee. No explosives were found in the house.

Police were on the scene within three minutes according to authorities. They arrived while the shooting was taking place, Deputy Chief Eric Dalgleish said at a press conference.

“The officers that did arrive were hearing shots in the building, and that’s what directed them to the second floor,” he recounted.

The entire hospital complex was locked down on Wednesday afternoon. That included an outpatient surgery center and a breast health center.

Following the end of gunfire, police searched the building “floor by floor, room by room,” according to Captain Richard Meulenberg of the Tulsa Police Department.

“It’s a catastrophic scene in there right now,” Captain Meulenberg told reporters.

“It was just madness inside, with hundreds of rooms and hundreds of people trying to get out of the building,” he told CNN.

An individual was seen in video footage being rolled away on a stretcher by first responders from the hospital. No further details have been released concerning injuries.

Police are still working on identifying who the gunman was and what motivated the mass shooting. The police, however, told reporters that “it wasn’t random.”

“This wasn’t an individual who just decided he wanted to go find a hospital full of random people. He deliberately made a choice to come here and his actions were deliberate,” Meulenberg stated.

“There will obviously be many questions, and there will be a very bumpy road, I think, ahead of us,” St. Francis Health System CEO Dr. Cliff Robertson commented to reporters, adding that the shooting was a “senseless, horrible, incomprehensible act.”

“There are over 10,000 of us who are part of the Saint Francis Health System that every day commit their lives to taking care of people in need. This horrible, incomprehensible act is not going to change that,” he declared.

“The White House is closely monitoring the situation and has reached out to state and local officials to offer support,” Biden officials postured in a statement.

This shooting follows one in Oklahoma by a 26-year-old man who opened fire at a Memorial Day festival, killing a 39-year-old woman during an argument and injuring seven victims, according to KOCO 5 ABC.

Skyler Buckner, 26, turned himself into the Muskogee County Sheriff’s Office on May 29. An arrest warrant had been issued for Buckner for first-degree murder and official charges will be filed when he is arraigned.

  1. “Whitehouse is closely monitoring the situation”, right these inept nincompoops are Joke on America, especially the shooter is black. Yes just like they are monitoring the border, inflation, gas prices, and the dismal economy. How’s that going for everyone?
    Will the LSM news have wall to wall news coverage on this shooting, the shooter is black? Oh snap, the LSM didn’t cover the two shooting rampage memorial day weekend, the shooters were black. Just saying…..

  2. Black man enters slaughterhouse to commit slaughter then slaughters himself. Very clear this was arranged by the democrats since the brain-f*cked they sent into the schools to slaughter isn’t working.

  3. The killer was black… I already hear crickets chirping in the corporate media.

    1. If the shooter was white, you can be sure LSM would already posted his SS#, home address and the last time he defecated.
      Is biapac part of LSM?

  4. Was this shooter another mental health patient who was programmed through the use of drugs and hypnosis by his mental health professional to commit these murders in the name of demonizing guns as an excuse to abolish the 2nd Amendment and disarm us? Or is that just a ridiculous conspiracy theory that is beyond logical consideration?

    I guess we’ll never know. The people who could investigate this possibility clearly aren’t.

    As gun grabbers put their efforts toward confiscation into high gear, we’re going to have to deal with a lot more mass shootings. While we mourn the victims of mass shooters, democrats see them as a convenient and necessary means to an end. Lets’ face the ugly fact: the higher the body count, the better for the gun grabbers. Nothing matters to them but the abolition of the 2nd Amendment, and any means toward that end is excusable and forgivable.

  5. “The White House is closely monitoring the situation to see if it can be used to further our political agenda” Biden officials postured
