Five people were shot in the early morning hours Friday in an area roughly along N. Peoria Ave. between 63rd St. North and 36th St. North.

Three of the victims died; all five were black.

Jordan tells KRMG the task force, dubbed "Operation Random Shooter," will include members of the U.S. Marshals Service, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office in addition to Tulsa police officers.

Among those in attendance, District One City Councilor Jack Henderson, TPD Deputy Chief Dennis Larsen, Mayor Dewey Bartlett, and NAACP Chapter President Rev. Warren Blakney, Sr.

Police announced late Friday afternoon they believe the suspect to be a white man driving a white pickup truck.

That has led to speculation that the shootings were racially motivated http://www.krmg.com/news/news/local/breaking-tulsa-police-and-feds-...
