Woman dies from gunshot wound; police investigating

By Rowynn Ricks, CNHI News Service

WOODWARD — A 50-year-old woman who sustained a gunshot to the head Tuesday died of her injuries Wednesday. Police are investigating the shooting.

The woman was injured in a shooting that occurred in the garage of a Wood-ward residence Tuesday afternoon. She was taken to Woodward Regional Hospital, but was flown later Tuesday by air ambulance to St. Anthony Hospital in Oklahoma City, which is where she died.

The woman’s name has not been released.

“The call originally came in as a self-inflicted wound, but we’re still looking into it,” said Woodward Detective Lt. Chuck Wheeler.

As part of the initial investigations Tuesday afternoon, detectives examined the garage and a pickup truck that had been parked in the garage for blood splatter, Wheeler said, noting “it tells us a story; it tells us what happened.”

The detectives also interviewed the 56-year-old male who lives in the residence where the shooting occurred and examined him for any gunshot residue.

Wheeler said the man told police he and the woman, who are friends, were sitting in his garage and talking Tuesday afternoon, when he “went inside to get a drink and that’s when he heard the shot.”

Wheeler said the shot is believed to have come from a .25 semi-automatic pistol belonging to the man.

The pistol was taken into evidence and is being sent to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation lab for analysis along with additional evidence.

“We’re still getting stuff to the lab,” Wheeler said. “It’s going to take awhile,” before the police make a final ruling on the shooting.

He said the victim’s body “will go to the medical examiner’s office.”
