“🚓Police were notified about five deceased people inside a residence in southeast 🏞️Oklahoma City,” Knight said in a short Facebook live update on the department page.
He added, “When officers arrived they made entry into the home and did indeed find five people in there who were deceased.”
“The five people had injuries, all consistent with homicide,” Knight added.
The officer said there was no doubt the deaths were consistent with a mass 🚨Murder inside the home. They were not deaths due to accidental causes, such as drug overdoses, he said.
“This wasn’t a gas-type of a situation or a fentanyl-type of situation,” Knight said. “These are five people who were killed.”
Taylor Mitchell, a reporter with the 🏞️Oklahoma City NBC News affiliate KFOR-TV, reported she was told the victims each died “violently.”
