At least 12 people were hospitalized after a shooting at an event full of young adults near Lake Arcadia in Oklahoma City on Sunday night, according to reports.
Police swarmed the lake in Edmond around 9 p.m. after multiple 911 calls reported a shooting, Edmond Police officials said in a press conference at the scene.
The gunfire erupted at a large “Sunday Funday” party where many young adults were in attendance, News on 6 reported.
“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,” Edmond police spokesperson Emily Ward said.
“We’re kind of all over the metro speaking with victims and witnesses,” Ward said.
At least 12 people were taken by ambulance to multiple local hospitals, the Associated Press reported. Ward said victims were in “various conditions.”
Police said the number of victims may rise as others who were wounded were taken to the hospital by personal vehicles.
