Neighbors reported the fire about 4 p.m. (2100 GMT) in the Tulsa
suburb of about 40,000 people, police said. Officials provided
scant details of what happened or who was killed.
"Preliminary reports are that this is going to be a homicide
investigation," Broken Arrow police spokesperson Ethan Hutchins
told reporters. "We're still focused on trying to put out the
fire and also investigate what happened to these victims."
He declined to comment on any search for a suspect.
Agents from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and
Explosives were called to help investigate, Hutchins said,
calling it a "complex scene."
"Understandably, this is a shock to Broken Arrow. It's a safe
city," Huthcins said. "And so, we're asking the community to
please pray and come together because this is something that we
don't experience as a city very often."
