Midwest City Police Chief Sid Porter said the victim was shot and pronounced dead at the scene. The suspect identified as 30-year-old Brandon Morrissette was confronted by officers working on the campus. “They ordered him to drop the weapon, which he did, and he was taken into custody.”
The two were apparently involved in a domestic situation that ended in a shooting near campus, according to Porter.
Porter said there are no threats to students, faculty or staff outside the college. Crews from the Oklahoma Highway Patrol and the Sheriff’s Office are conducting an inspection of the campus to confirm the absence of threats.
