A violent incident at a youth party near an Oklahoma City-area lake has left multiple people injured and hospitalized Sunday evening.
Emergency responders transported at least 10 individuals to area hospitals after gunfire erupted around 9 p.m. at a gathering of young people near Arcadia Lake, according to Edmond police spokesperson Emily Ward. Additional victims transported themselves to medical facilities for treatment.
Ward indicated late Sunday that law enforcement had not yet made any arrests in connection with the violence and emphasized that officials do not believe there is an ongoing danger to community members.
“We’re kind of all over the metro speaking with victims and witnesses,” Ward stated.
The spokesperson noted that those injured were in “various conditions” but did not provide specific details about the severity of their injuries or the total number of people who sought medical attention.
The shooting occurred at Arcadia Lake, an artificial reservoir situated approximately 13 miles north of Oklahoma City in the suburb of Edmond, which has roughly 100,000 residents. The lake serves dual purposes as a flood management facility and recreational destination, drawing visitors for activities including fishing, boating, picnicking and camping.
