Ella Langley Concert in Tulsa Canceled Over Unfounded Shooting Threat
A concert by American country singer Ella Langley scheduled for Friday evening at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, was canceled after a security threat that authorities later determined to be unfounded. Langley, 27, is the voice behind "Choosin' Texas," the song that recently set a record for the most non-consecutive weeks (24) atop the Billboard Hot 100. She said she made the decision on the advice of local authorities and officials at the arena, which holds 19,000 people. Police had inspected the BOK Center on Friday afternoon and found no security problems. An officer then received an anonymous call warning of possible shootings and explosions. Police relayed the call to Langley's staff and searched the venue again with the help of dogs trained to detect explosives, but again found nothing suspicious. The FBI has opened an investigation into the incident.
