A naked man with a rifle who shot and killed a woman at point-blank range Tuesday was in turn shot by Tulsa police and also died, the department said.

Tulsa police said officers were called to the area of 7900 S. Sheridan for a naked man shooting a rifle. Several vehicles were struck and shell casings were found throughout the parking lot, police said.

Upon arrival police found the suspect described by the callers holding a rifle and speaking to a woman who was trying to communicate with him. At this time the rifle was not pointing at anyone, police said.

Another woman that is not a relative, but known to the suspect, walked up and the suspect shot the second woman point blank in the chest.
