Dragon's Lair

About 200 members of the Oklahoma National Guard?s 45th Infantry Brigade returned to Oklahoma on Sunday, the first of about 2,600 coming home from a tour in Iraq. The first group landed Sunday morning, the second group landed after 6 p.m.

Both groups were honored with a ceremony at Southern Nazarene University?s Sawyer Center, where the banner above the door read: Mission Accomplished.

Maj. Gen Harry M. Wyatt III, the state?s adjutant general, said the most important standard in measuring the brigade?s success in its deployment to Iraq is a simple one. ?Everyone we deployed is coming home,? Wyatt said. ?I could not be prouder than I am today.?

Three more arrivals are expected today.

Oklahoma City police still have not confirmed the identity of a man wounded in a shoot-out with police early Saturday, police Sgt. Daniel Stewart said Sunday.

No one else was hurt in the incident.
