2 slain in attack at home in Tulsa, Okla.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Police say two people are dead after armed intruders entered a home in northeast Tulsa and fired several shots.



Authorities say officers were sent to the scene about 10:20 p.m. Saturday after a report of shots fired.



Police Capt. Karen Tipler said an unspecified number of people forced their way into the home, where four people were present. Two survived, including one witness who was in a room separate from where the fatal shootings occurred, she said.



"Some folks came in, banged on the door and after three attempts finally came inside, yelled at everybody to get on the ground," Tipler said.



Tipler said the two slain victims are men in their 20s, but their names have not yet been released.



Police said they were seeking Justin Bryant, believed to be from Modesto, Calif., as a "person of interest" in the case.
