At least 10 people have been injured during a shooting at a ‘Sunday Funday’ event near Arcadia Lake in Oklahoma on Sunday as emergency services swarmed the area.
A massive multi-agency response – including the Oklahoma City Police Department, Edmond police, the fire department and Oklahoma Highway Patrol – rushed to the scene of a party at Lake Arcadia at around 9 pm, according to a spokesperson.
When they arrived, first responders discovered a bloodbath. At least 10 people needed to be transported to local hospitals. Others had driven themselves.
‘This is obviously a very terrifying situation,’ the spokeswoman said, adding: ‘We are working extremely very hard to find the suspects.’
The victims were said to be in various conditions, according to preliminary information.
As of early Monday morning there were no suspects in custody.
One woman even told a reporter her ‘cousin and sister were shot’. Other witnesses have reported hearing more than 30 shots fired.
Police had earlier told KFOR that the shots fired calls likely originated from the Caddo Pavilion at the campground.
