OKLAHOMA CITY -
Law enforcement
swarmed an Oklahoma City condo complex, Thursday, and arrested a man accused of
opening fire in Bethany neighborhood.
Police had been
looking for the suspect, Robert Gibson, since Wednesday evening.
That drive by
shooting happened about 6 p.m. Wednesday on the 6200 block of NW 33rd
on a street that neighbors say was filled with kids playing outside.
According to court
documents, Gibson pulled up in front of this house where four people were
inside, and started shooting. The owner of the Bethany home told police he
recognized Gibson as the shooter and had known him for over 10 years. He
did not know why Gibson had shot at him.

Police were able to
locate Gibson at his home and around 12:30 p.m. Thursday, Oklahoma City police
swarmed the Nantucket Condos and evacuated Gibson's neighbors.
"They just wanted
me to stay in the house and not come out and then they came back and they
wanted me out for a while," said Jean McFeely, who lives in the condo
underneath Gibson.
"Do to the charge
of drive-by shooting and four counts of shooting with intent to kill, we
thought best to secure the area and evacuate people for the safety of the
community," said Lt. Dale Marshall, with the Oklahoma City Police Department.
But Gibson was
taken into custody without incident. According to neighbors, Gibson was
the former homeowners' association president, always polite, but of
questionable character.
No one was injured
in the shooting. Gibson is now facing four counts of shooting with
intent.
