Body with gunshot found in search for Tulsa massacre victims

(AP) – The city of Tulsa, Oklahoma, says a second body of a possible 1921 race massacre victim has been found to have a gunshot wound.

A spokesperson said Friday that a forensic anthropologist found a portion of a bullet in the head of one set of remains.

Investigators are seeking signs of such trauma in an effort to confirm remains are those of massacre victims.

None of the 26 remains found during the current search nor about three dozen recovered last year have been confirmed as victims of the massacre.

A white mob attacked and killed Black people and burned and looted homes and businesses.
