Corporal Shelton was picking up his wife from her job at Kenny Mac's, an east Tulsa bar at 1133 South Memorial Drive at about 2:55 Sunday morning when someone opened fire on the bar.

The bar was closed and staff was cleaning up.

"We had eight to 10 shots fired into the building," said Captain Shawn King of the Tulsa Police Department. "Nobody really saw anything outside of the bar."

Bar owners say there was no fighting or trouble earlier in the night.

"We're trying to track down some information, but as of right now we don't have anything," he said early Sunday morning.
