Tulsa, Okla. —
If you have a weather radio or an App on your phone, you might have heard something a little different this morning.
The National Weather Service office in Tulsa issued a crime bulletin for an overnight standoff.
Tulsa police put a neighborhood on lock down this morning during a standoff, right as people in the area were trying to get to work.
Meteorologist Bart Haake says, “Our broadcasting system is really a all hazards radio these days.
Haake says police called them to issue a crime bulletin on the weather radios telling homeowners in the area to stay inside and lock their doors.
He says this type of non-weather related alert is a little unusual.
"We have issued civil emergency messages for chemical releases. I personally have not done one for a law enforcement warning."
He says they have done a few child abduction alerts.
Actual bulletin is below.
