Shooter Kills Brother, Botches Suicide Bid

"COWETA, OK — The Wagoner County Sheriffs Office is investigating an apparent murder/suicide attempt after finding one man dead of gunshot wounds, Maj. Gary Handley said.

"Jeremiah Roberts was found deceased Saturday in a residence in the 25000 block of East 121st Street South, Handley said. Roberts' brother, Randall Grigg Jr., was also found with gunshot wounds, but was still alive.

"Handley said it appears Roberts and Grigg had gotten in an argument while drinking, and that Grigg had killed Roberts, then turned the gun on himself. Grigg is in a Tulsa hospital in critical condition, Handley said.

"Grigg's wife and nine children, ages 1-14 years old, were in the residence at the time of the shooting, Handley said.

"`I think it's a tragedy this has occurred, especially during the holiday season,` sheriff Bob Colbert said in a statement. `My heart goes out to these poor children in the home that unfortunately had to witness this event.`"
