According to Edmond Police, officers responded to a report of gunfire near Scissortail Campground at Arcadia Lake. They did not say if all 23 people taken to hospitals were shot or if they were injured in some other way during the chaos.
In a news release, police said the shooting took place during an “unsanctioned party that began after dark and was advertised across multiple social media platforms.” The party drew a “large crowd of young adults from across the metro area,” police said.
Officials said the party organizers had not reserved any section of the park for the party, which attendees said drew some 250 people, KHOU reported.
The party had been advertised online as “Sunday Funday” with food, drinks, music, and “good vibes, good people.”
Witnesses told KOCO that a fight broke out before the shooting; police have not confirmed that report.
