The tally of injured from a shooting at a party at a lake near Oklahoma City is expected to rise beyond the 10 taken to hospital by rescuers, police said on Monday, as others among the victims make their own way to seek treatment.
No suspects were in custody following the shooting just after 9 p.m. at a party at Arcadia Lake, the police department in the city of Edmond, northeast of Oklahoma City, said in a statement on X. It gave no further immediate details.
The lake in eastern Edmond is popular for recreational activities such as fishing, camping, boating and picnics.
Edmond police spokesperson Emily Ward said victims were in “various conditions.”
“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,” she said.
“We’re kind of all over the metro speaking with victims and witnesses,” Ward added.
While police did not provide details about the party, a flyer seen on social media after the shooting suggested that an event called Sunday Funday had been scheduled near the lake Sunday evening.
