Manhunt Continues In Prue, Kids Are Home
It's happening in Prue, located about 20 miles northwest of Tulsa.
Authorities tell NewsChannel 8 it started as a domestic dispute. A man reportedly fired a shot into the floor of a mobile home. His girlfriend was at home at the time, but was able to get out and call police. The suspect -- identified by police as Roy Mills -- then left the mobile home on foot. He is thought to be armed with an high-powered rifle.
"He's believed to be armed with an SKS, with armor-piercing bullets," said Jeff Atwell with the Green Country Fire Department.
A perimeter has been set up near 209th West Avenue and all roads in and out of Prue closed off. Officers from the Tulsa Police Department, troopers from the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, park rangers and dogs from nearby Conner Correctional Facility are being used to try and track down the suspect.
The shooting incident happened about two and a half miles away from the school, which was locked down as a precaution. The students were released to their parents at 5:15.The school remains closed tomorrow.
