STIGLER, Okla. — Two men were arrested over the weekend of April 5 and 6, after two people were found dead at a Stigler home.
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation said the situation began just before 6 PM, when Haskell County Sheriff's Deputies responded to a shooting call at a home near Cass Road in Stigler. There, they found 56-year old Tina Mitchell, who had been stabbed and shot. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
