I was there at the Vince Neil concert last night with friends. A young woman came running into the seats saying "active shooter!" Everyone took off! The band was between songs and didn't know and when they got word, they left the stage. I didn't see any officers with long guns, but there may have been.
I have 2 total knee replacements and normally set off metal detectors. I set em off at an Oakland A's game last month, both the walk through and got wanded. Tsa, I set those off as well. We went Friday night and last night, and neither time did the metal detectors go off. I even asked them if they were turned on, so ????

Any old timers out there recall the shooting many years ago? Maybe 30 years. Someone shot a high powered rifle from 10th and May toward the fairgrounds at a woman if I recall. She died and they never caught the shooter. It was an intentional 'hit' they speculated. At the time there was more shrubs and bushes on the SW corner. And they redid it so nobody could hide in them.
Yep. It was at the grocery store on the corner. White woman with a black man. Big news at the time and still unsolved.

They were not standard metal detectors and their sensitivity had to be cranked all the way down. It had to be intentional because it's not like they had anything to empty your pockets in. I had my cell phone, keys, money clip, small flashlight, watch and belt buckle. I should have easily lit up the metal detector but I just walked right through.

If you want to see how this incident is being viewed by Oklahoma's best and brightest just take a gander at the Oklahoma subreddit . . . . holy crap those folks have brain worms.
That’s why Reddit,fakebook, Tic tok, instagram, and other social media platforms like them are not in my play book.
I’ve been on all of them.
OSA and OKH are my go to places.

Yeah, this is one of those things that liberals will never realize or admit. If a person is determined to commit illegal activity, all the metal detectors in the world aren’t going to stop them. They WILL find a way.
The govt can’t even keep drugs and weapons out of prisons.🤣
Nor cell phones that criminals use to run their organizations while behind bars.

Watching the panic report on the shooting on “ let’s try to get it right “ channel 9. If it’s a spade then call it a spade. If you listen closely they were talking about how law enforcement were patrolling the area with their “ long guns”. Buuuuttttt noooooo if It had been a citizen carrying one it would’ve been an “assault rifle “. Let’s get the facts straight, call it what it is for everyone.
You got it right. The bias in the media rears it’s ugly head once again.
