“When officers arrived, they learned that three victims had been shot,” said Capt. Valerie Littlejohn of the Oklahoma City Police Department.

All three victims were transported to a local hospital. Concerned citizens watched as police searched the crime scene for evidence.

“We know these things don’t happen because there are bad people,” said Jabee Williams, Live Free OKC. “These things happen because there are a lot of unmet needs, you know what I’m saying?”

Jabee Williams came to the scene to represent Live Free OKC, a community-based nonprofit organization working to reduce gun violence in the city.

“First and foremost are the people affected,” Williams said. “It hurts people. I know what it’s like to be that person now, which is why it’s so important to me.”

Williams said his job is not to intervene in an investigation but to prevent violence.

“Make sure there’s no retaliation and things like that,” Williams said.
