At least 12 people were sent to hospitals after gunfire broke out Sunday night at a gathering near Arcadia Lake in Edmond, Oklahoma.
Authorities received reports of shots fired around 9 p.m. near the lake, where a group of young people had gathered, the Associated Press reported.
Arcadia Lake sits about 13 miles north of Oklahoma City and is commonly used for camping, boating, fishing, and picnicking.
Police Search For Suspects
Edmond police spokesperson Emily Ward said 10 people were transported to hospitals by emergency responders, while others drove themselves for medical treatment.
Victims were taken to multiple hospitals in various conditions. Nine people were at Integris Health Baptist Medical Center in Oklahoma City, and three were at Integris Health Edmond Hospital, according to a hospital system spokesperson.
No arrests had been announced as of early Monday. Police had not released information about a possible suspect or motive.
“This is obviously a very terrifying situation and we understand the concern from the public and those involved and we are working extremely hard to find the suspects,” Ward said.
Ward said investigators were speaking with victims and witnesses across the Oklahoma City metro area.
Investigation Continues
No fatalities had been reported in the early Monday update.
A flyer seen on social media after the shooting suggested that an event called “Sunday Funday” had been scheduled near the lake Sunday evening. Police had not released details about the party or confirmed whether the flyer was directly connected to the shooting.
The investigation remains ongoing.
