At least 10 people were injured when a shooting occurred Sunday night at a lakeside party in Oklahoma, police officials said.
The shooting took place around 9 p.m. near Arcadia Lake in Edmond, Okla., a northeastern suburb of Oklahoma City, where a crowd of young people was having a party, the police said.
The Edmond Police Department said late Sunday that no suspects were in custody. At a news conference, the police said there was no reason to believe there was an ongoing threat to the public.
According to local news reports, a “Sunday Funday” event was being held at the lake at that time when two gunmen in ski masks arrived and opened fire.
At least 10 people were taken to area hospitals, the police said, though the number of victims was expected to rise as some people may have driven themselves to medical centers. The police did not provide details on the victims’ conditions.
“This is obviously a very terrifying situation,” an Edmond police spokeswoman, Emily Ward, said at the news conference late Sunday.
Arcadia Lake is a large recreational area on the Deep Fork River. Its shores are full of picnic areas, beaches and docks for water sports.
