A week after a teenage gunman killed 22 people in a school in Texas, four people have been gunned down in a hospital campus shooting in Oklahoma, US.
A man armed with a rifle and handgun opened fire on Wednesday inside a medical building in Tulsa, Oklahoma, killing four people, police said, in the latest of a series of mass shootings in the United States. The shooter has also been shot dead.
"We now have five dead, including the shooter, in the active shooter situation at the Natalie Building on the St. Francis Hospital Campus," Tulsa Police said.
The shooter also died, apparently of a self-inflicted wound, Tulsa's deputy police chief Jonathan Brooks told reporters outside the St. Francis Hospital campus.
Brooks said police were trying to determine the man's identity, but said he was aged between 35 and 40.
