(CBS/AP) TULSA, Okla. - A spree of early-morning shootings within a one-mile span of north Tulsa in which three people were killed and two critically wounded has lead police to suspect the same attacker or attackers are behind them.
All five of the victims were shot within an hour, and within a 1-mile radius of each other, police sources tell CBS News, and all five victims were out walking when they were shot.
Police are speculating that the shootings were racially motivated because all of the victims are black; it is not believed the victims knew one another.
Police won't know for sure if the shootings are linked until they see the results of ballistic tests.
CBS News has learned that two of the victims described the suspect as a white male, and that four people said they saw a white truck. No one has been arrested.
The FBI is now involved in the investigation.
Black community leaders met Friday evening in an effort to calm unrest and promote safety. NAACP Tulsa president, the Rev. Warren Blakney Sr., told the Tulsa World someone appeared to be "targeting black people to shoot."
"I'm on edge for my people," Blakney said.
Four shooting victims were found in yards, and the fifth in a street. Police identified those killed as Dannaer Fields, 49; Bobby Clark, 54; and William Allen, 31. Fields was found wounded about 1 a.m. Friday. Clarke was found in a street about an hour later. Allen was discovered in the yard of a funeral home about 8:30 a.m.
Minutes after Fields was found, police found two men with gunshot wounds in another yard two blocks away. They were taken to hospitals in critical condition but are expected to survive, police said. Their names have not been released.

You Americans are so gullible.
No, you won’t accept Communism outright.
But we will keep feeding you small doses of socialism
until you finally wake up and realize you already have communism.
We won’t have to fight you;
we’ll so weaken your economy
that you will fall like over ripe fruit into our hands. “
Nikita Kruschev, Former Soviet Premier
We’ve been here before:
Remember the DC sniper shootings 6 years ago?
Remember how it was a whiiiiiite guy in a generic whiiiiite van, like from the A-team..?
Remember the hateful whiiiite sniper...?
Oh you don’t? Yes, that’s because it was a pair of black Muslims.
Remember how the cops caught them? You don’t? Yeah that’s cuz the black muslim snipers were caught by a CIVILIAN.
And this is the SAME:
The Trayvon thang fizzled cuz of this little thing called The Truth —the left figgered they had that racial Big Mouth Bass almost in the boat, and Zimmerman broke free at the milisecond they’d lifted him out of the water.
And the Grievance Elite were itching for that white guilt fix so badly that they send out some droopy pantzers to shoot up some black folks and then blame it on Whitey.
But, but the elite, self-appointed (ahem) “community leaders” like the Rev. Al Sharpton, for example, hardly have any unfortunate history of supporting completely unsubstantiated and ultimately proved false and fabricated racist attack claims, right?
I mean to say, that sort of thing just doesn’t happen, does it?
The 50 IQ clods in the FBI only investigate if Holder’s “peeples” are dead or wounded. If “peeples” who look like obama’s son are involved in raping, beating and shooting honkies, that be too cool for Holder’s racist FBI to investigate.
I wonder if these FBI racist and poltically correct morons realize they’re about to be arrested, indicted and thrown in prison for sedition.
I doubt it. Fifty IQ points doesn’t give one much room to figure stuff out. By the time you puzzle over how to tie your shoelaces and where the tap water comes from, there ain’t many IQ points left.
CNN radio is running this as their lead news story
There’s been several incidents lately where gangs of black youths are beating up old white people.
This is just the beginning.
“”I’m on edge for my people,” Blakney said.”
He should be...”his people” kill others of “his people” all the time and it’s getting worse everyday. Blacks make up 12% of the population but comprise 45% of prison inmates.
Yep - that's exactly what he wants. Notice he hasn't been in front of the cameras calling for calm now, has he.
I don’t recall any witnesses identifying the DC snipers as white. What I recall were repeated witnesses claiming to have seen a white van and a widespread public assumption that the shooter(s) was white based on the nature of the crime.
A former FBI analyst (I have a mental block and can’t think of his correct position) kept telling us the shooters were White racists.
He was a complete total idiot as there was nothing to suggest that except the way his mind worked.
I just remembered, he was an FBI profiler.
Since his profile fit what the media wanted, they had him on over and over again.
Cellphone records can tell exactly how many people were close to all of these incidents.
Or do we get a search warrant for all cell phones in the county ?
Or do we just say the hell with it and get the records without a warrant ?
The fourth ammendment is just a pesky little part of that old document that nobody pays attention to anymore.
Sounds like a rap convention in town to me.
Black on black violence is the norm.
Nothing new here- just doin’ the Biggy Smalls thang.
Yo!
The same area where these latest killings took place.
Do you work for MSM, ABC, or CBS?
Don’t know about that. Americans are not all that crazy about black violence and especially not celebrating race riots with leftists.
Obama is a delusional leftist and might think instigating violence will win him an election...fat chance.
Tulsa is gonna burn.
I agree with your sentiment, but I think this battle is lost. It seems to be considered the phone company's data, who can share it with anyone they like.
