Eight people were found dead inside a Broken Arrow home that was ravaged by a massive fire late Thursday.
Broken Arrow Police Department officers responded to the scene on S Hickory Avenue at around 4 p.m. Thursday over reports of a “structure fire with multiple fatalities.”
“It is a complex scene given the state of the house due to the fire damage,” Broken Arrow police said.
Local police and agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives are investigating the incident.
“We will mourn together, and in the end, we will heal together,” Broken Arrow Police Chief Berryhill said.
“Please pray for those who have lost their lives, and for our first responders who are dealing with a tragedy of this magnitude.”
“My staff and I, as well as the Fire Chief and his staff, will have more information tomorrow.”
