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 pm 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.
Associated Press (AP) reported Edmond police spokesperson Emily Ward saying that, “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.
Police said 10 people were taken to the hospital by emergency services, while others arrived on their own. Ward said the victims were in “various conditions.”
