Tulsa police are investigating a deadly double shooting near the Best Buy at 5520 East Skelly Drive.

According to officers, around 2:30p.m. Saturday, a car pulled up to the Best Buy and a man inside got into an argument with another man standing out front. The man in the car pulled out a gun and shot at least nine bullets towards the store, said police.

The man involved in the argument was hit, along with an innocent bystander. The bystander was inside the store with his 4-year-old granddaughter.

This used to be a nice area. I still can't believe this would happen in the middle of the afternoon on a busy Saturday.

Be in prayer for the family of the innocent bystander who was killed. How horrible for his little granddaughter.

Dear Tulsans,

Time for the white folk to move to Glenpool or Tulsa.

Sincerely,
Mayor Dewey Bartlett

Skelly drive is the nice south side of Tulsa. Decay is everywhere I guess even the nice side of Tulsa has probably changed too over the years.

Don’t tell me the shooter was a black guy? Say it ain’t so.

Romney’s fault I bet.

It’s even worse than you think. The mall on 71st Street is “iffy” now. I wasn’t kidding when I said people might have to move to Glenpool or Owasso.

Commenters on the local newspaper story on this tragedy are pointing to nearby Section 8 housing as a source of problems in the area.

“Innocent bystander” — oh how I hate that term, especially in this situation where it appears the man in the store couldn’t even know he was a “bystander” since the incident was occurring outside the store. I can’t begin to imagine being a family member of the in-store victim.

“So far we know they are looking for a black man, 5’ 8”, 160lbs.”

Okay, I won’t tell you. Surprise, surprise, surprise...

Seems it just keeps getting worse.

Probobly true. Most of the people who live in that don't have anything to do all day except play scratch off lotto tickets, get drunk, get high, steal things, and cause trouble. I guess if we just gave them more of our hard earned cash they'd turn their lives around, get jobs, and become productive citizens.

We have all done it at some time or other. I have done it several times. Usually I know the instant I hit post the second time but once in a while it seems to happen on it’s own.

The last time I was in Best Buy, looking for a lap top deal, there were 3 young black women monopolizing the display, surfing the internet. They obviously weren’t buying and I was disgusted that Best Buy allowed them unlimited access. I was actually trying to compare models and I couldn’t with them there. I was there for probably an hour. Next time I need something I’ll buy online.
