Shooting during party at Oklahoma's Arcadia Lake leaves at least 13 wounded, no arrests made
At least 13 people were rushed to hospitals on Sunday night after gunfire erupted during a party at a lake near Oklahoma City, according to police and hospital officials.
Edmond police responded Sunday evening after receiving multiple reports of shots fired at around 9 p.m. at a gathering near Arcadia Lake, department spokeswoman Emily Ward said at a press briefing.
No arrests had been made in connection with the shooting as of late Sunday, but Ward said there was no known threat to the public.
“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 said.
In addition to the 10 people transported to hospitals by emergency responders, Ward said more drove themselves to hospitals for medical evaluations.
Ten people were at Integris Health Baptist Medical Center in Oklahoma City and three were at Integris Health Edmond Hospital as of Monday morning, a hospital system spokesperson told The Associated Press.

The shooting in Oklahoma that left more than a dozen victims hospitalized Sunday night happened at a popular outdoor recreational spot.
Gunfire erupted around 9 p.m. at a party near Arcadia Lake, which is located around 13 miles north of Oklahoma City.
The lake is an artificial reservoir used for flood control for the Deep Fork River Basin, but also serves the public as a popular fishing, boating, picnicking and camping area.
The city of Edmond, a suburb of Oklahoma City with about 100,000 residents, manages operations at the lake and its campgrounds.
The lake has a fishing pier and a dock that is heated and covered for year-round fishing, the city says on its website. Fish found at the lake include bluegill, channel catfish, blue catfish and largemouth bass.
The lake covers approximately 1,820 surface acres with 26 miles of shoreline, surrounded by hundreds of acres of wooded hills.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built the lake, which opened in 1987.
