A 15-year-old boy, Abel Her, was killed in a shooting on the evening of December 20, 2024, in a Northwest Oklahoma City neighborhood. His 14-year-old sister was also wounded in the attack. Abel is remembered by family as a bright, loving son and brother with an infectious laugh.

Police say the violence began when Jerry Yang arrived at the home of his estranged wife. A protective order filed by the mother in July covered her and all five children; Yang had a prior arrest for trying to run the woman and her children off the road. Reports state Yang made threats before opening fire, and a shootout followed between Yang and responding officers. An officer was lightly injured when a bullet struck his pocketknife. Both Abel Her and Jerry Yang were later found dead at the scene.

What details do readers who knew the family or were in that neighborhood that night remember that could help clarify what happened?
