Security cameras throughout the northeast Oklahoma City senior living building show armed Owens-Bey. The suspect was clearly seen pointing a gun at an unknown victim inside an elevator.

Officer: “Put the gun down, put the gun down.”
Owens-Bey ran back inside the building, continuing to threaten residents with the gun. Police and building security ran in after him.
Officer: “We got a guy running with a gun, so going in with OSHA right now.”
