There was an individual suicide across the street from the stadium about 7:30 pm Saturday, during the second quarter of the football game. There were no other deaths or injuries. A second suspected device was exploded by bomb experts, but is said not to have been an actual bomb. Apparently, FBI and local law enforcement continue their investigations. The deceased has not yet been identified, because the priority has been to protect the public.

This info comes from my brother the perfessor at OU-Norman, who was not at the game. He lives an 8 minute drive from the stadium, and was unaware of anything until he opened his morning newspaper. Although a bang apparently could be heard within the stadium, there was no panic -- law enforcement was on top of things immediately.

Uh-huh. We're supposed to believe the deader wasn't carrying a wallet? No one's been reported missing? That no parts survived?
