STILLWATER, Okla. (KOCO) — The investigation into the Oct. 19 shooting outside an Oklahoma State University dorm has uncovered a connection to past crimes.
One of the guns used in the shooting has been linked to crimes in Oklahoma City.
“We know that two guns were fired. We know that one gun is linked to an Oklahoma City case from about 3 years ago,” OSU Police Chief Michael Beckner said. “One thing that tells me is this gun has changed hands a lot of times, because most of our people involved are 18 years old or just a little bit older.”
The crime lab results confirmed that two guns were fired during the incident. Beckner said that they are still awaiting further results from the crime lab, which may provide additional answers.
But the investigation into the shooting at Carreker East dorm is facing difficulties as victims and witnesses are not cooperating, Beckner said.
Despite the lack of cooperation, he said he remains hopeful that someone will eventually come forward with information.
He emphasized that the shooting was an isolated incident and assured that OSU is a safe campus, and Stillwater is a safe community.
