The Tulsa Police Department is investigating a shooting that occurred early Saturday in downtown Tulsa.

Police responded to Fassler Hall, 304 S. Elgin, and encountered a large crowd around the shooting victim. Police said the crowd was uncooperative and confrontational with emergency personnel, making it difficult to render aid to the victim.

A second crowd was across the street and was also uncooperative. GID patrol and Impact Officers responded and were eventually able to get the scene under control and secured it for the TPD Crime Scene Unit.
