Tulsa shootings: Police chief warns man who shot 5 black men: 'We're coming for you' [View all]

TULSA, Okla. — The city’s police chief had strong words of warning Saturday for the man behind the shootings that left three people dead and two more critically wounded: “We’re coming for you.”

Chief Chuck Jordan described the attacks, all of which occurred early Friday, as “vicious and cowardly.”

All five victims were black, leaving Tulsa’s black community on edge.

“We’re all nervous,” said Renaldo Works, 52, who was getting his hair cut at the crowded Charlie’s Angels Forever Hair Style Shop on Saturday morning.
