It was unclear what prompted the assault. However,the unidentified gunman carried both a handgun and a rifle during the attack,Dalgleish said.
Police responded to the call three minutes after dispatchers received the report and made contact with the gunman one minute later,Dalgleish said.
Police responses have come under increased scrutiny aftera gunman killed 19 children and two teachers in a Texas school classroom last week while officers waited outside for nearly an hour.
Asked by reporters whether police had refreshed training or thinking about active shooters after the school shooting in Uvalde,Dalgleish said:“I think that’s probably fresh on everyone’s minds.”
“I will say Tulsa revisits that topic regularly. I was very happy with what we know so far regarding the response of our officers,” Dalgleish said.
The incident in Tulsa on Thursday (AEST) came on the heels of mass shootings that have reignited debates about gun control. Two weeks before the Uvalde shooting,awhite gunman killed 10 people at a supermarket in a black neighbourhood in Buffalo,New York.
