Four people were injured in a shooting that took place during a high school football game in Oklahoma on Friday night. The incident occurred during the third quarter of the game between Del City and Choctaw.
Video footage captured the chaotic scene as players and fans fled while others took cover on the field. Gunshots were heard with less than five minutes left in the quarter, prompting panic and a rush to seek safety.
The condition of the victims is currently unknown. However, sources have reported that one of the injured is a 15-year-old girl who was shot in the thigh. Another person was flown to OU Medical Center for treatment, while a third victim was treated and released.
The shooting is believed to involve an off-duty Del City police officer, who fired their weapon. The officer's involvement in the incident and whether anyone was hit by their gunfire remains unclear.
Authorities have detained three individuals, but it is not confirmed if they are connected to the shooting. Choctaw police have stated that no one is currently in custody for the incident.
Both school districts, Del City and Choctaw, released a joint statement expressing their sympathy for those affected by the shooting and their commitment to working with law enforcement in the ongoing investigation.
