Prayers needed, I'm sure.
STILLWATER, Okla. – A gunman opened fire at an off-campus student party at a Stillwater hotel early Sunday, killing one person and injuring three others, police said.
The shooting occurred after two men attempted to enter the invitation-only party at a Stillwater Holiday Inn about 3 a.m. Sunday, said Lt. Michael Metcalf. When the men were denied entry, one of the men pulled out a handgun and fired several shots at partygoers inside the hotel room.
"Apparently, the suspect and another individual showed up and tried to crash the party," Metcalf said. "When the people that were hosting the party said that it was by invitation only, an argument ensued and (the suspect) fired several shots into the room."
Paul Shanor, 21, a University of Oklahoma student, was shot in the chest and later died at a Stillwater hospital, Metcalf said.
Legaria R. Thomas, 19, a student at Oklahoma State University, was shot in the face and was listed in critical condition Sunday at the OU Medical Center, police said.
Curtis L. Canady, a 22-year-old Langston University student, was shot in the hand. He was treated and released from a Stillwater hospital.
A fourth victim, who wasn't identified, was shot in the back and was in critical condition Sunday at the OU Medical Center, Metcalf said.
Police are searching for Karras Mitchell Harrison, 21, of Oklahoma City, in connection with the shooting. Harrison is described as a black male, 6-feet tall, about 165 pounds. Metcalf said he believes Harrison may be in the Oklahoma City area.
