Another Attack in a Gun-free Zone: Active shooter at Oklahoma State University dorm leaves 3 wounded

Oct 19, 2025 | Gun Free Zones

As we have pointed out before, murderers who plan on killing lots of people pick places where their victims are unable to defend themselves (see also here). There was a shooting in the Oklahoma State University dorms, but as the picture above shows, firearms are banned from being carried on the campus and can only be locked in people’s cars.

.

An active shooter in a dorm at Oklahoma State University Sunday morning left three people wounded during homecoming weekend.

.

The shooting took place in the early hours of the morning at a residential hall on the campus in Stillwater, Oklahoma, and at least one of the victims is a student, police said.

.

The victims were part of an off-campus party Saturday night that then moved into the dorms in the wee hours.

.

“At approximately 3:40 a.m., the OSU Police Department responded to Carreker East residential hall after shooting victims reported the incident,” the official OSU Police and Safety account wrote on X. . . .
