A man with a rifle fired inside a medical building in the city of Tulsa, Oklahoma on Wednesday, killing four people, police said, in what is yet another deadly shooting spree in the states -United.
The authorities indicated that the assailant was also dead, without the circumstances of his death being immediately known.
The evacuation of the St. Francis Hospital campus was still ongoing.
US President Joe Biden has been kept informed of the shooting, announced the White House, which says it is monitoring the situation closely and offering local authorities the assistance they need.
The shooting comes just over a week after a school massacre in Uvalde, Texas, in which an 18-year-old man killed 19 children and two teachers.
In the United States, shootings in public places are a recurring scourge that successive governments have so far been powerless to stem.
