Four women have been found dead in a south Tulsa apartment Monday afternoon.

Tulsa Police got a 911 call shortly after 12:30 p.m. about four people found dead at the Fairmont Terrace Apartments in the 5800 block of South Owasso.

News On 6 crime reporter Lori Fullbright says police told her the victims are four women who were shot to death in one apartment. A 4-year-old boy was also inside but was not hurt.

Police believe the victims were alive just an hour before the 911 call. Detectives are asking people with information to call Crime Stoppers at 918-596-COPS.

I guess we can keep it manageable if we limit it to mass killings. That's my America!

I want it in everyone's faces so gun owners see the toll we pay for their freedom.

a lot of killings where the number of deaths is 4. Makes you wonder if some of the crazies out there now have a goal.

I ... really don't think that people are deciding "I need to go shoot 4.0 people today."

If, as seems to be unlikely, we manage to go 30 days without another mass killing, the flags can go back to full mast until the next mass killing.

Maybe that will help keep this issue in the spotlight until something meaningful is done about the ocean of guns we're drowning in just to mollify the gun fetishists.

We ought to get the drones on that well-regulated militia.

They're a bunch of goddamn terrorists.

12 homicides in the area (about 5 blocks by 5 blocks) in the 3 years before this. Since 1990, Tulsa has had 11 cases of 3 or more killed at one time.
