SKY FIVE WAS OVER THE SCENE JUST ABOUT 30 MINUTES AGO. WE’RE TOLD THAT MAN FELL INTO THE MANHOLE THIS SCENE PLAYING OUT AT NORTHWEST EXPRESSWAY AND COUNCIL. WE KNOW FIRE CREWS WERE ABLE TO USE A BASKET TO ACTUALLY GET THE MAN OUT OF THE HOLE. IT’S STILL UNCLEAR HOW HE GOT DOWN THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE, OR HOW LONG HE WAS TRAPPED DOWN THERE, BUT HE WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL TO BE TREATED. SOME OTHER BIG NEWS WE’VE BEEN FOLLOWING THIS MORNING. NEW DETAILS AFTER A CAR FLIPPED INTO NICHOLS HILLS CRASHING THROUGH A FENCE AND THEN INTO THE SIDE OF A HOME. OUR KOCO CAMERAS WERE ON THAT SCENE AROUND THREE THIS MORNING NEAR GRAND AND PENN, NOT FAR FROM THE OKLAHOMA CITY GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB. POLICE SAY THE PEOPLE INSIDE THAT CAR CRASHED INTO THE HOME AND THEN GOT OUT AND RAN AWAY. SO FAR, NO WORD ON ANY ARRESTS, BUT STAY WITH US HERE AS WE WILL SHARE THOSE UPDATES AS THEY COME IN. AND ALSO DEVELOPING. AT NINE, A WOMAN ESCAPES A HOME ON FIRE. OUR KOCO CAMERAS ON THAT SCENE AROUND 2 A.M. NEAR NORTHWEST 16TH AND ROCKWELL. HERE’S WHAT FIREFIGHTERS TOLD US WHEN WE ARRIVED ON SCENE. WE SAW HEAVY FLAMES SHOWING WE WERE ABLE TO STOP IT FROM EXTENDING TO THE HOUSE AND EVERYONE WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT OUT OF THE STRUCTURE. TWO CATS WERE INSIDE AT THE TIME, BUT UNFORTUNATELY ONE OF THEM DID NOT MAKE IT OUT. FIREFIGHTERS ARE NOW INVESTIGATING WHAT SPARKED THIS. WELL, POLICE HAVE ARRESTED THE MAN WHO THEY SAY SET TWO PEOPLE ON FIRE. IT HAPPENED NEAR HEFNER AND WESTERN TUESDAY MORNING. INVESTIGATORS SAY A COUPLE WAS ASLEEP AT AN UNHOUSED COMMUNITY WHEN THE SUSPECT POURED AN ACCELERANT ON THEM AND THEN SET THEM ON FIRE. THE COUPLE RAN TO A NEARBY HOUSE FOR HELP. THEY WERE RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL. THE WOMAN IS STILL IN CRITICAL CONDITION. THE MAN MIGHT ACTUALLY LOSE A LIMB. THE SUSPECT NOW BEING HELD ON A MILLION DOLLAR BOND. WELL, THIS MORNING, THREE PEOPLE FACE FIRST DEGREE MURDER CHARGES STEMMING FROM A SHOOTING THAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK. THIS WAS AT AN APARTMENT COMPLEX NEAR NORTHWEST EXPRESSWAY AND WEST WILTSHIRE POLICE SAY THE VICTIM, ROBERT BATTLE, RAN TO A STORE NEARBY FOR HELP AFTER HE WAS SHOT. TWO WOMEN AND A MAN, NOW CHARGED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS SHOOTING. WE SPOKE WITH THE VICTIM’S MOTHER, SHE TELLS US SHE DOESN’T THINK HER SON DID ANYTHING WRONG. I’M JUST GOING TO PUT IT OUT THERE. YOU TOOK MY BABY AWAY. HE’S 32 YEARS OLD. HE DIDN’T. HE DIDN’T BOTHER NOBODY. IT WAS ALL ABOUT HIS KIDS. HE WAS TRYING TO MAKE IT HAPPEN FOR HIS CHILDREN. HE DIDN’T. HE DIDN’T LIKE TROUBLE. WE’RE NOT NAMING THOSE THREE SUSPECTS RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THEY HAVEN’T BEEN OFFICIALLY CHARGED. ACCORDING TO COURT DOCUMENTS, ONE OF THE SUSPECTS WAS TRACKED DOWN AFTER POSTING ABOUT THE INCIDENT ON SOCIAL MEDIA. 934 RIGHT NOW, STILL A LOT OF QUESTIONS UNANSWERED AFTER THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP, A ONE MAIN CONCERN IS SECURITY AT POLITICAL RALLIES. WE SAT DOWN WITH OKLAHOMA CITY POLICE CHIEF WADE GOURLEY AND ASKED WHAT HE THOUGHT ABOUT THE INCIDENT. HE SAYS THERE ARE QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY SOMEONE WASN’T ON THAT ROOF OR ANY ELEVATED AREA NEAR WHERE THE RALLY WAS HAPPENING. NORMALLY, IN THOSE INSTANCES, YOU SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE SPECULATING AND THINGS ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHY DIDN’T THEY HAVE SOMEBODY ON TOP OF THAT BUILDING IN THAT AREA AND JUST SO YOU CAN MAKE SURE NOBODY GETS TO AN ELEVATED POSITION AS WELL. SO CHIEF GOURLEY SAYS ONCE INVESTIGATIONS ARE COMPLETE, OFFICIALS WILL COME UP WITH BETTER WAYS OF PREVENTING THESE SITUATIONS. 934 ON DAY THREE OF COCO.
