Five Found Dead in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma; Two Teen Relatives Detained

Two teens were taken into custody after five relatives were found stabbed to death at the Oklahoma home where they all lived, police told NBC News early Thursday.

The suspects, aged 18 and 16, allegedly ran out the back door when officers arrived at the scene in the Tulsa suburb of Broken Arrow.

As well as the five found stabbed to death, one juvenile family member was critically injured and taken to the hospital, according to Sgt. Thomas Cooper of the Broken Arrow Police Department. Another juvenile family member was found unharmed, Cooper said.

All of the victims and suspects were part of the same family and all lived at the home, he added.

Police went to the dwelling after receiving a 911 hang-up call at 11:30 p.m. local time on Wednesday (12:30 a.m. ET Thursday), Cooper said.

The two teen suspects were tracked to a wooded trail area behind the house, he added.

Cooper told NBC News that the incident was "almost unprecedented" in the city of around 100,000.

"This is a relatively safe community, smaller than Tulsa and what you might call a bedroom community," Cooper said.

Looks like 9 relatives all living in the home... damn, that'd drive me to do something crazy, too.


But not like this. Horrible.

I know this will sound crass,,,
But at least it wasn't done with guns.

That's what I thought... knives. What terrible weapons that should be banned. Glad I bought two more this week, they'll be on the chopping block next.



Just goes to show you (like the mass stabbing thing in China) - deranged people will find a way to do harm to others. No matter what.

If we can think of something to ban we will all feel better and safer. Otherwise we are left to deal with the idea that there is evil inside people and that is terribly unsettling.

Exactly. There's a little evil in the majority of people, and a lot of evil in a few people.

Well, that's what we get for legalizing switchblades here in Okieville!
