THERE’S A LOT ON THE 5+5 DAY. IT’S ALL COMING UP HERE IN A FEW MINUTES. WELL DEVELOPING RIGHT NOW TWO PEOPLE ARE DEAD AFTER THEIR CAR CRASHED INTO A BUILDING, THEN CAUSED THAT BUILDING TO GO UP IN FLAMES. POLICE, FIRE, EMS ALL RUSHED TO THE SCENE AROUND 1:00 THIS MORNING. REALLY, REALLY SAD STORY FROM OVERNIGHT, THE VICTIMS WERE TOLD CRASHED INTO A BUILDING CLOSE TO SOUTHWEST 29TH AND WESTERN POLICE TELLING US THEY WERE DRIVING NORTH ON WESTERN WHEN THEY CRASHED INTO ANOTHER CAR. AND THEN THE VICTIM’S CAR ROLLED INTO THE BUILDING AND SPARKED A FIRE. SO THERE WAS A SMALL FIRE IN THE BUILDING FOR A SHORT TIME. OKLAHOMA CITY FIRE DEPARTMENT GOT THAT PUT OUT. WE DO HAVE TWO INDIVIDUALS IN THE VEHICLE, ONE MALE, ONE FEMALE. THEIR IDENTITIES ARE UNKNOWN, BUT BOTH PEOPLE ARE DECEASED. THE PERSON IN THE OTHER VEHICLE HAD VERY, VERY MINOR INJURIES. A HUGE RESPONSE. TONS OF FIRST RESPONDERS THAT WERE AT THE SCENE. YEAH. POLICE AND FIRE. THEY’RE STILL INVESTIGATING THIS. YOU SHOULD STICK WITH KOCO FIVE AS WE GET UPDATES. ALSO DEVELOPING RIGHT NOW A DRIVER AND PASSENGER TAKEN INTO CUSTODY AFTER A CHASE IN THE METRO. THIS ENDED NEAR NORTHWEST 30TH AND MACARTHUR. OKLAHOMA CITY POLICE SAY IT STARTED WITH OFFICERS TRYING TO PULL THE DRIVER OVER ON TRAFFIC CHARGES, AND EVENTUALLY THE PURSUIT WAS CALLED OFF BY POLICE. LATER BETHANY POLICE, THOUGH THEY FOUND THE SUSPECTS CAR STOPPED WITH A FLAT TIRE. POLICE SAY THEY TOOK A FEMALE PASSENGER INTO CUSTODY FIRST, THEN THEY HAD TO CHASE THE DRIVER WHO TOOK OFF RUNNING. THEY EVENTUALLY GOT THEM INTO CUSTODY AS WELL, AND A SUSPECT IS ON THE RUN. AFTER SETTING A CAMPER ON FIRE OVERNIGHT. THIS HAPPENING JUST SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 62, IN HARRAH, OKLAHOMA COUNTY. DEPUTIES SAY THE SUSPECT SET FIRE ON HIS OWN PROPERTY BEFORE TAKING OFF. NO ONE WAS HURT. I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH THE OKLAHOMA COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT. THEY SAY THAT SUSPECT IS STILL ON THE RUN IN OKLAHOMA CITY. POLICE RIGHT NOW ARE INVESTIGATING TWO SHOOTINGS THAT HAPPENED ON NEW YEAR’S DAY, BOTH WITHIN THE FIRST FEW HOURS OF THE YEAR. THE FIRST ONE YOU MAY REMEMBER FROM YESTERDAY WAS BREAKING NEWS HERE ON KOCO. POLICE SAY TWO PEOPLE WERE HURT IN A SHOOTING IN A PARKING LOT AT NORTHEAST 36TH AND SANTA FE AROUND 330. THIS WAS AT A 7-ELEVEN, A DRIVE BY. YEAH, THE PERSON OPENED FIRE. THEN POLICE SAY THEY TOOK OFF. ACCORDING TO POLICE, ONE PERSON WAS SHOT. THE OTHER PERSON WAS GRAZED IN THE LEG. THEY DID NOT GET A DESCRIPTION OF THE SUSPECT. THE OTHER SHOOTING WAS ON WEST WILSHIRE AROUND 1230 YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. OFFICERS TELLING US THIS STARTED AS SOME KIND OF FIGHT AT AN APARTMENT BEFORE IT MOVED ACROSS THE STREET. THAT’S WHERE A MAN WAS SHOT IN THE LEG. AT THIS TIME, POLICE CONSIDER THAT MAN TO BE A SUSPECT, SAYING ANOTHER SUSPECT IS STILL UNACCOUNTED FOR IN MUSTANG PUBLIC SCHOOLS, ANNOUNCING THAT ONE OF THEIR HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS DIED IN A MOTORCYCLE CRASH YESTERDAY MORNING. IT’S NOT CLEAR IF THIS CRASH WAS THE SAME ONE WE BROUGHT TO YOU YESTERDAY MORNING AT SOUTHWEST 35TH AND SARAH ROAD, MUSTANG SCHOOLS SAYS THEY WILL HAVE COUNSELORS AVAILABLE T
