By The Oklahoman

Feb. 17–TULSA — A 23-year-old man was fatally shot early Saturday at a Tulsa nightclub, police Sgt. Bill Goree said.

The man’s name had not been released Saturday night.

About 2:50 a.m., a vehicle rammed into The Hive, 216 N Elgin Ave. The club owner or an employee shot at the vehicle, Goree said.

The vehicle was speeding away from the scene as officers arrived, but police stopped it and found the shooting victim inside, he said.

Police are interviewing the club owner and staff, and the incident remains under investigation, Goree said.

The Hive’s Web site describes it as an all-ages live music venue and events center. No events were scheduled for Friday or Saturday, according to the site’s calendar.
