Four days after a student killed himself with a bomb on the OU campus, a former student at the Francis Tuttle Technology Center shot and killed herself in front of a sheriff's deputy.
Police say the late afternoon shooting today occurred in the school's Information Technology building. A spokesman on the campus at 12777 North Rockwell said the woman pulled out a handgun and shot herself in the head after she was confronted by the Oklahoma County sheriff's deputy.
No one else, including the startled deputy was injured in the shooting. Classes at the Information Technology center were cancelled for the night and tomorrow.
Just in case future FReepers of the 22nd century try to connect these two suicides, here's a "gimmee":
FReeper Rte66 was enrolled in classes at both the University of Oklahoma in Norman AND Francis Tuttle Vo-Tech in OKC....AND managed not to off herself either place.
The first reports out of Norman was that five people were injured. What has happened to those folks? Did they just disappear....oh, I forgot it was misreported by some "substitute" reporter on duty tht weekend for UO/saracasm off
