EDMOND, Okla. (AP) \u2014 A shooting Sunday night at a party at a lake near Oklahoma City sent least 12 people to hospitals, according to police and hospital officials.<\/p>\n
Edmond police spokesperson Emily Ward said authorities received reports of shots being fired at about 9 p.m. at a gathering of young people near Arcadia Lake. She said late Sunday that no arrests had been made yet.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis 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,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re kind of all over the metro speaking with victims and witnesses,\u201d Ward said.<\/p>\n
She said that 10 people were taken to hospitals and others drove themselves. She said victims were in \u201cvarious conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nine people were at Integris Health Baptist Medical Center in Oklahoma City and three were at Integris Health Edmond Hospital, according to a hospital system spokesperson. The spokesperson said the patients were all still being assessed late Sunday night.<\/p>\n
While police did not provide details about the party, a flyer seen on social media after the shooting suggested that an event called Sunday Funday had been scheduled near the lake Sunday evening.<\/p>\n
Arcadia Lake, located around 13 miles (21 kilometers) north of Oklahoma City, is an artificial reservoir used for flood control that is also a popular recreational spot that offers fishing, boating, picnicking and camping. It\u2019s located in Edmond, an Oklahoma City suburb with about 100,000 residents. <\/p>\n
Forty years ago, Edmond was the site of one of the deadliest workplace shootings in U.S. history. On Aug. 20, 1986, postal worker Patrick Sherrill shot 20 co-workers, killing 14 of them. He then killed himself.<\/p>\n
