DUNCAN, Okla. (KFOR) - Three people were killed after a gunman opened fire in a southwest Oklahoma Walmart parking lot and now the gunman has been identified as one of the dead.

“The last time I did talk to him, he didn`t say that there was any trouble. It`s one of those things that completely takes you by surprise,” said Michael Bryant, who knew the shooter.

Michael Bryant talking about the man who allegedly opened fire on a red car, killing two people, before turning the gun on himself. The terrifying scene unfolding in a Walmart parking lot.

Emotions were running high as police swarmed the scene. Video from Air Comfort Solutions Chopper 4 showed loved ones reacting to the shocking news.

“There were three deceased individuals. One female, one male was found deceased in the car. One male outside of the car,” said Duncan Police Chief Danny Ford.

Our local news reported the shooter and the people in the car (all three victims) apparently knew each other. It was not a random attack.

In addition, an armed 4th person confronted the shooter at which time he shot himself.

Probably more to this story than we've heard so far.
