Man who escaped Okla. shooting testifies in court


OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The sole survivor of a shooting that killed a prostitute featured on the HBO reality series “Cathouse” and three other people says he paid a Mexican mafia $2,000 less than it was owed for drugs just hours before the shooting.

Jose Fierro testified Wednesday in the preliminary hearing for David Allen Tyner — who’s charged with six counts of first-degree murder. He has pleaded not guilty.

The victims included Brooke Phillips — who was featured on the HBO show. Tyner is charged with six counts because Phillips and another victim were pregnant.

Fierro said he paid $16,000 to the Mexican mafia when members came to his home to collect $18,000 for drugs they had provided.

He said he escaped through a garage when gunfire broke out after Tyner came to the home.
