On Thursday night, Wyrick saw about a half dozen patrol car on his street in a quiet neighborhood just south of Robinson near Porter. Police believe the suspect and victim knew each other.

"There was some sort of argument or dispute that occurred on Wednesday in Oklahoma City, which escalated to the point that it did last night that somebody was shot," Capt. Todd Gibson with Norman Police said.

The woman who was attacked is out of the hospital and talking to detectives. Neighbors of the victims say they usually feel safe in their homes. Officers hope to maintain that sense of security.

"We've had a lot of detectives out all night, running down leads, running down information and trying to find people," said Gibson.

Police say Norman averages about four to six murders a year. If you have information that may help Norman Police, give them a call at (405) 321-1600.
