WELEETKA, Okla. (AP) - Authorities say at least six people were killed in a house fire in the town of Weleetka. Medical Examiner's office spokeswoman Cherokee Ballard said Monday two adults and four children were killed in the early morning blaze. Ballard says the children's ages range from one to 11.
A dispatcher at the Weleetka Police Department confirmed the deadly fire but didn't release any other details. She said officials remained on the scene late Monday morning. Weleetka is about 70 miles south of Tulsa in east-central Oklahoma.
