At around 8:30 Wednesday evening, the Osage County Sheriff’s Office responded to a domestic disturbance with one person shot at 742 County Rd. 4920, located north of Pawhuska. As they were driving to the scene, the Sheriff's Office received another 911 call saying a second person had been shot. Osage County Sheriff Eddie Virden said once crews got there, there was nothing they could do.

Officers learned that 45-year old Travis Kirchner, and his 23-year old son, Ty Kirchner, had gotten into a verbal altercation and during that altercation, Ty Kirchner had shot Travis Kirchner. There was then a second incident involving Ty Kirchner and another family member.
