Tulsa Police are looking for a shooting suspect and the victims. It happened Tuesday afternoon at the Landing Apartments near 11th and Mingo.

Police believe it may have been a drug deal gone bad. There are several witnesses who saw two men running away from the apartments.

One was bleeding from the head. The other ran into a nearby business and told them a man tried to rob him at gunpoint in his friend's apartment. Eyewitness Mark Gentry: "and what concerned me is he started reaching into his pants and I thought he was going to pull out a weapon. He was actually pulling out a bunch of cash that he said the gentleman was going to shoot him to take." That man told Gentry he didn't want to call police because he had prior convictions.

Tulsa Police hope the man who was injured goes to a hospital so they can find out what happened and who the shooting suspect is.

Residents at the Landing Apartments say they are concerned for their safety. This latest shooting was the second in three days. People say they've watched crime escalate, and go out of control in what was once a safe neighborhood.

Neighbors tell the News on 6, shootings are commonplace around the apartments. Derek: "cause you be asleep one night and it be quiet and all the sudden, pow, pow, pow! Whatever, something is going on. You gotta jump up."

The Landing's managers are concerned as well. Riquita Bennett says she's going to hire an on-site security guard to help protect her residents.
