1 dead in Logan County shooting

GUTHRIE, Okla. — GUTHRIE, Okla. (AP) — One person is dead and another is being questioned following a shooting in rural Logan County near Guthrie.



Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Jessica Brown says the sheriff's office asked for help following the shooting just after midnight Tuesday. Brown says 23-year-old Elmer Cronister was shot in the head and killed at a home about five miles east of Guthrie.



Brown says at daybreak an OSBI airplane pilot flying in the area searching for 20-year-old Robert Schleve spotted Schleve and agents arrested him on unrelated warrants from Logan County.



Agents did not say what those warrants are for.



OSBI agent John Loffi says investigators are trying to determine what happened and the shooting "could be accidental."
