Hobby Lobby Worker Fatally Shoots His Manager, Turns up Dead, Say Reports

A man who fled the Oklahoma City scene had barricaded himself inside his vehicle after crashing it, police said.

A suspect who fatally shot his manager at a Hobby Lobby distribution center in Oklahoma City—then led police on a wild chase before flipping his car and barricading himself inside—reportedly died a short time after the crash, officials confirmed to local outlets. It’s unclear what caused the man’s death. The man is believed to have crashed his vehicle, a red Dodge Challenger, off a highway near the distribution center, rolling it at least once, according to KFOR and KOCO 5. The grisly incident kicked off around 5 p.m. after the shooting took place on the city’s southwest side, officials said. Oklahoma City Police said in a tweet that the gunman, an unidentified “employee of Hobby Lobby,” produced a firearm and fatally shot his supervisor after the two “got into an altercation.” He then left in the Dodge Challenger. The Oklahoma City distribution center spans over 10 million square feet, with warehousing, manufacturing, transportation, and corporate departments onsite, according to Fox News Digital.
