Police continue to look for suspects in an Oklahoma mass shooting on Sunday that left at least 23 injured following a scuffle at an illegal party over the weekend.
Eyewitnesses told the Associated Press that around 250 people attended the party at a campground that was advertised over the weekend. Jeremiah Smith, an attendee, told the outlet that fighting started when a group of girls started arguing over boyfriends, which escalated into a several-minute-long gunfight.
“It just started a whole bunch of chaos,” he said.
At least 23 people were hospitalized, according to police. At least three were critically wounded. Despite the scale of the shooting, police still haven’t caught any suspects.
The shooting was considered an isolated incident, and police believe there’s no danger to the public.
Edmond Mayor Mark Nash said he would take “steps to review and strengthen park operations, permitting processes, and security measures.” No reservation had been made for the party.

Videos posted online shortly before the shooting showed dozens of young adults dancing. A flyer posted on social media advertised the “Sunday Funday” party as going from 6 p.m. to midnight.
One of the event’s organizers told the Oklahoman the parties happened every Sunday and that no problems had been encountered previously.
