Four Dead in Suspected Murder-Suicide in Tulsa

Four people, including two young children, were shot to death in a Tulsa apartment and authorities said they're investigating the case as a triple murder-suicide.

Tulsa police said a 35-year-old man fatally shot his estranged wife, their 5-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son before shooting himself. A 2-year-old child was discovered unharmed.

Police said the shootings happened after the wife, who was 22 years old, dropped off their children at his apartment Monday. She returned later that day with her roommate's 2-year-old daughter.

Authorities said the 2-year-old girl, who wasn't related to the alleged gunman, was in the apartment during the shooting but was not hurt.

The bodies were discovered early Tuesday. No names have been released, but Tulsa police said in a press release that the victims were from Guatemala.
