U.S. News - Shooter targeting blacks in Tulsa, Oklahoma?

U.S. News - Shooter targeting blacks in Tulsa, Oklahoma?: The same attacker or attackers may be to blame for four early-morning shootings that left three people dead and two wounded within a three-mile span of north Tulsa, police in Oklahoma say.

All five victims were walking through neighborhoods not far from each other when they were shot early Friday, Tulsa homicide detective Sgt. Dave Walker told the Tulsa World.

All the victims were black, prompting the Rev. Warren Blakney Sr., NAACP Tulsa president, to say that someone appeared to be "targeting black people to shoot.”

"I’m on edge for my people," Blakney said, according to the Tulsa World.
