TAFT, Okla. (AP) — Authorities said a 26-year-old man was in custody after one person was killed and seven people were injured in a shooting early Sunday at an outdoor festival in eastern Oklahoma, where witnesses described frantic people running for cover amid gunfire.

An arrest warrant was issued for Skyler Buckner and he turned himself in to the Muskogee County sheriff’s office Sunday afternoon, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation said in a statement. OSBI said that those shot at the Memorial Day event in Taft, located about 45 miles (72 kilometers) southeast of Tulsa, ranged in age from 9 to 56.

A 39-year-old woman was killed, OSBI said. The injuries of those wounded were considered non-life-threatening.

OSBI had earlier said two juveniles were injured in the shooting but said Sunday afternoon that only one juvenile was injured.

Witnesses said an argument preceded the gunfire just after midnight, the agency said.

Thanx.
He never did that routine again.
I do still use “Chris Rock got it right” and most don’t know what i am talking about...just as well.

That would probably deter these nutcases if broadcasted. Thanks to the modern media and stupid games, they visualize going down in a blaze of glory, not trussed up like a turkey, dangling from a rope with their pants filled with their urine and crap.

This is the second “mass shooting” that took place today, that we know of. They’ll both be largely ignored by the MSM because neither pushes the proper narrative.

Middle name of Dewayne, which is a variant of Wayne, so that checks out.

Yes, Taft is one of the largest all black communities in Oklahoma.
