FOUR people lost their lives on June 1 during a mass shooting in Tulsa, Oklahoma.<\/p>\n
With more people reportedly injured, the gunman was also found dead at the scene.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The tragic incident occurred around 5pm local time on the second floor of Natalie Medical Building at Saint Francis Hospital.<\/p>\n
Officers arrived minutes after the report and quickly went to the second floor after hearing gunshots. <\/p>\n
The gunman was already found dead once the police arrived, and has not been identified to the public yet.<\/p>\n
The gunman's deadly wounds seem to have been caused by himself, and two of the killed victims were found in the same room as the gunman.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Tulsa Deputy Police Chief Eric Dalgleish reported that the gunman was a Black male by the name of Michael Lewis, thought to be between 35 and 40 years old.<\/p>\n
Lewis was a former patient at the hospital who recently went through back surgery on May 19 performed by Dr Preston Phillips.<\/p>\n
The suspect was equipped with both a long gun and a handgun, which all seemed to have been fired.<\/p>\n
The injured victims are still being investigated to see if the wounds were caused by gunfire or by hectic and rapid escape from the scene.<\/p>\n
"It was just madness inside, with hundreds of rooms and hundreds of people trying to get out of the building," shared Tulsa police captain Richard Meulenberg with CNN.<\/p>\n
