Oh my God, do we have corroboration on this? Not to distrust your wife, but was it a rumor or?

One killed in explosion near OU stadium

Star-Telegram


NORMAN, Okla. — At least one person was killed when an explosive device went off west of Gaylord Family Memorial Stadium on Saturday night during the Oklahoma-Kansas State football game, according to a University of Oklahoma police spokesman.

Sgt. Gary Robinson said he could not say whether officials believed any act of terrorism was indicated.

"I have no information on whether it is or isn’t," Robinson said.

"Right now we do know there was a device that exploded. We don’t know what the device is, what the make of the device is, what compound was used. We do know we have at least one fatality. We don’t know the gender of the person.

"We have the area sectioned off, we are checking to make sure there are no other devices in the area or injuries or (other) fatalities."

The explosion occured at approximately 7:20 p.m. midway through the second quarter of the game in the area west of the press box and east of the Van Vleet Oval, outside of the university's botany-microbiology building.

Robinson said a hazardous device unit was searching a cordoned off area that also includes the journalism and architecture buildings. Bomb-sniffing dogs were observed checking the area just outside the east gates of the stadium.

Robinson said the crowd would be forced to exit the east side of the stadium after the game.
