Accident – Death – Obituary News : Adam Ballance Jr., a 40-year-old man, tragically lost his life during a shooting that occurred at a family gathering in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The incident took place at a residence located south of East Apache Street and North Harvard Avenue, leaving the community in shock and mourning. In addition to Adam Ballance Jr., a 16-year-old also succumbed to the violence, while three others, including two teenagers, are currently in critical condition following the gunfire.

The Tulsa Police Department is actively investigating the fatal shooting, which took place in the early hours of the morning. Officers responded to a report of a shooting at around 1:58 a.m. near 3800 E. Woodrow St. When they arrived at the scene, they discovered multiple victims with gunshot wounds. Sadly, both Adam Ballance Jr. and the 16-year-old male died as a result of their injuries. The 16-year-old passed away at the scene, while Adam Ballance Jr. died in the hospital. Three additional victims, aged 20, 18, and 15, were taken to local hospitals for medical treatment.

Preliminary findings indicate that the shooting occurred during a dispute at the family gathering. The altercation involved the 16-year-old, who was the boyfriend of an invited guest, and another individual. It is worth noting that there were more than a dozen people present in the house, including young children, at the time of the incident.

The conflict escalated when the 16-year-old and his companions, who had been instructed to leave, brandished weapons. Both the 16-year-old and his 15-year-old associate were armed. In response, Adam Ballance Jr., armed with a semi-automatic rifle, confronted them. The disagreement moved outside, leading to an exchange of gunfire between Adam Ballance Jr. and the armed 16-year-old, ultimately resulting in the latter’s tragic death. During the exchange, Adam Ballance Jr. himself sustained gunshot wounds, causing him to fall and drop his rifle.

Taking advantage of the situation, Adam Ballance Jr.’s 20-year-old son retrieved his father’s rifle and engaged in another round of gunfire. This time, he exchanged shots with the armed 15-year-old, and both individuals were struck by gunfire.
