TILLWATER, Oklahoma -

We're told three people are dead and several others are hurt at the Oklahoma State University Homecoming Parade Saturday. A vehicle ran into the crowd causing the deaths and multiple injuries.

The Stillwater mayor has confirmed the three fatalities. The mayor reports two people are in critical condition and 27 have been taken to the hospital. Eight helicopters in all responded to the scene.

Witnesses tell News On 6 it was terrifying as a car crashed into parade watchers at high speed. The car was not part of the parade but was on Main before crashing into the crowd at the intersection with Hall of Fame. A police motorcycle unit was also hit, according to reports.

No word yet on the driver of the car or why it crashed into the scene. Witnesses say the scene was very chaotic, with victims everywhere - men, women and children.

“arrest made for DUI, per local report.”

Under the influence of allah, perhaps?

If this guy was a Muslim screaming for Jihad as he ran people over, would our press mention that?

Or would that information be “racist”?

Terrible. It seems to have been a drunk woman who was driving.

Obama will be saying we need to come up with “reasonable alcohol control”.

Maybe he’ll propose a “beer summit” on the issue!

When is Obama going to go on TV demanding more background checks for automobile purchases?

background checks for automobile purchases

Definitely should also allow only semi-auto mobiles, and not fully-auto mobiles.

And we shouldn't forget the number of gallons in the gas tank. No reason for a tank to have 15 or 20 gallons. A 3 gallon chamber is just fine for bargain hunting.

It would appear that Obama, Hillary need to go on TV and say they are going to enact some ‘common sense’ auto laws. Another mass killing by an auto. If it only saves one life, it’s worth it.
