From Staff Reports
NORMAN -- An explosion near the University of Oklahoma's Gaylord Family-Memorial Stadium killed one person Saturday, OU officials said.

The explosion happened at the courtyard near the George Lynn Cross Hall, Botany-Microbiology Building on OU's campus, which is west of the stadium, according to Sgt. Gary Robinson of the University police department.

The explosion happened during the second quarter of Oklahoma's game against Kansas State.

After the explosion, police set up a perimeter of several blocks and made fans exit the stadium to the east.

What's the lure? Why would this OK university be a target. Prayers up just in case. Hope it's not too bad.

Possibilities:

1) Meth lab.

2) John Doe #2.

3) Bob Stoops finally found an offense.

No terrorist...they would have done it in day time. More casualties in day time. Either a local whacko or some one's BBQ went off...

Suicide bomber explodes prematurely? Were the football game attendees the target? Game has 8 minutes left in the 4th quarter.

My wife just called from the stadium. She supervises one of the University sky boxes and said there was a tremendous blast and they wont let anyone have access to thier cars parked in the area of the bomb. It was apparently a suicide bomber who prematurely triggered the bomb. It was just before halftime with 80,000 people in the stands. My guess is an OU student frome a Muslim country. I am so angry I am shaking.

One person dead outside the building?

It's early to speculate, but the first thing that comes to mind is that someone accidentally blew himself up.

Microbiology? Hmmm. And a big game? Hmmm.

Interested in further updates as well.
