At least three people were killed Wednesday in a shooting on a hospital campus in Tulsa, Oklahoma, police said, APA reports citing CNN.

The shooter is also dead, police said in a Facebook post.

Authorities responded to a call about a man who was armed with a rifle at the Natalie Medical Building, a physicians' office building on the St. Francis Hospital campus, according to an earlier Facebook post from the Tulsa Police Department.

"At this point, we can confirm the shooter is dead," police said in the post, although it was not clear whether the shooting was self-inflicted.

"Officers are currently going through every room in the building checking for additional threats," the post added.

Police were going through "multiple floors" clearing the building and evacuating victims Wednesday evening, Richard Meulenberg, with police, said Wednesday, adding that there are "hundreds of rooms and hundreds of people within the building."
