Officers were still working to clear the St. Francis Hospital campus, the Tulsa Police Department said on Twitter.
Captain Richard Meulenberg told ABC that police received a call about a man with a rifle on the second floor of a building on the medical campus and that “it turned into an active shooter situation”.
By the time officers arrived on the scene, “they found a few people have been shot. A couple were dead at that point,” Meulenberg said.
“We also found who we believed to be the shooter and still believe to be the shooter, because he had a long rifle and a pistol with him,” Meulenberg added.
It was not immediately clear how the suspected gunman died.
