Man who fatally stabbed family tried to attack prison staff

The Oklahoma Department of Corrections says a man serving life in prison for stabbing his parents and three siblings to death tried to attack prison staff with an 8-inch long "sharpened instrument."

A DOC report first obtained by the Tulsa World says 22-year-old Robert Bever approached two staff members from behind in a dayroom at the Joseph Harp Correctional Center on July 15. One grabbed him and he complied with orders to drop the weapon and drop to the ground.

DOC spokesman Matt Elliott said Wednesday that no one was seriously hurt and charges are unlikely.

Bever pleaded guilty in 2016 to stabbing his parents and siblings to death and attacking another sibling in their suburban Tulsa home. His brother, Michael Bever, was convicted in 2018 in the same attack and also sentenced to life in prison.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) — Charlie Woods failed to advance in a U.S. Open local qualifying event Thursday, shooting a 9-over 81 at Legacy Golf & Tennis Club.

The 15-year-old son of Tiger Woods tied for 61st among the 74 players who finished. The top five advanced to regional qualifying.

Woods shot 40 on the front nine, opening bogey-double bogey. He followed a birdie on the par-3 fifth with another double bogey. He shot 41 on the back with three bogeys and a double bogey.

The U.S. Open will be played June 13-16 at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina.

Woods also struggled in February in a pre-qualifier for the PGA Tour's Cognizant Classic, taking a 12 on a hole and shooting a 16-over 86 at Lost Lake Golf Club in Hobe Sound.

Woods has played the 36-hole PNC Championship with his father the last four years in a scramble format.
