A man was taken into custody after a deadly shooting in Mustang late Wednesday, police said. Authorities say the confrontation began inside a family gathering and ended in gunfire near Highway 152 and Sara Road — a neighborhood that was briefly swarmed by emergency crews.
Mustang Police arrived at the scene at approximately 11 p.m. following reports of a disturbance. Officers found evidence of a shooting and subsequently arrested a suspect believed to be connected to the incident, the department said. Officials have not released the names of those involved while the inquiry continues.
