Okay, guys, let’s talk about what happened today. It’s about the shooting in OKC. It was a mess, I gotta tell ya.
So, I woke up this morning, just a regular Saturday, you know? Grabbed my coffee, checked the news. And bam, there it was, right on the front page – a shooting in Oklahoma City. First thing I did? I dove deeper. Started reading everything I could find about it.
From what I gathered, it happened early this morning. Police got a call about some incident on SW 45th Ct. Turns out, it was a shooting. One guy, Shawn Lawrence, didn’t make it. It’s the first homicide of the year in the city, which is just awful.
Then I saw another report about a mass shooting at a party, also in OKC. One dead, twelve injured. I mean, what’s going on?
I spent hours going through all these articles. Found out about another victim, Javier Morales, shot outside a liquor store. It’s connected to this LiveFree OKC thing. And there was another incident on Bayberry Drive, a domestic thing with a gun involved, according to a 911 caller.
Key Details I Found:
- First Incident: A guy named Shawn Lawrence was killed on SW 45th Ct.
- Second Incident: Mass shooting at a party, one dead and at least 12 injured.
- Third Incident: Javier Morales was shot outside a liquor store.
- Fourth Incident: A domestic incident reported on Bayberry Drive.
- Victims: At least two dead, Shawn Lawrence and Javier Morales, plus multiple injured.
- Suspects: Names mentioned were Jaziel Ramos, Thomas Santiago, and Abraham Violante.
I kept digging, trying to piece it all together. Police are saying they’ve got suspects for some of these shootings. They mentioned names like Jaziel Ramos, Thomas Santiago, and Abraham Violante. Seems like they’re facing some serious charges, like first-degree murder.
Then I read about emergency responders using a tourniquet on one of the victims, trying to save him. They rushed him to the hospital, but his injuries were not described as life-threatening.
Honestly, the whole thing is just so sad and senseless. Reading about the 1995 bombing, where 168 people died, including 19 kids. It’s just heartbreaking. The Ryder truck, the explosion, the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building… it’s a lot to take in. It was the worst act of homegrown terrorism in the nation’s history. The truck was carrying over 4,800 pounds of ammonium nitrate fertilizer, nitromethane, and diesel fuel mixture when it detonated.
It makes you think, you know? How can this stuff keep happening? I’m just a regular guy, trying to make sense of it all. It felt important to write it all down, share it with you guys. Maybe someone out there has more info, or maybe just talking about it helps a little.
Anyway, that’s my take on it. Stay safe out there, everyone. And if you know something, say something.
