OKLAHOMA CITY —
Oklahoma City police officials said a person died and 14 people were 
injured in a mass shooting at a Halloween party at an event center early 
Saturday.

The shooting happened around 12:30 a.m. Saturday near Southwest 59th 
Street and Agnew Avenue. Police told KOCO 5 that the shooting started as 
an argument between two groups, and they believe multiple shooters were 
involved.

“Multiple people are detained. We’re going to interview them and figure 
out what led up to this event,” Capt. Valerie Littlejohn said.

Just before 4 p.m. Saturday, Littlejohn said two arrests had been made in 
connection with the shootings.

Police said they are still talking to anyone they can to figure out 
exactly what happened.

“We still have a lot of witnesses to talk to and people to interview," 
Littlejohn said. "Any kind of evidence or phone videos that these 
witnesses have, we’re going to go through all of that. We’re going to work 
with our detectives to figure out what exactly occurred inside the 
building and outside the building."

All 14 injured were taken to local hospitals with at least two victims 
listed in critical condition after the shooting, according to police. 
Information about the person who died has not been released.

Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt addressed the shootings in a Facebook post 
Saturday afternoon saying recent shootings have fit a familiar pattern, 
“young men (boys, really) making terrible decisions with grave 
consequences.”

Holt also said law enforcement must continue to be funded and supported, 
but that investing in the city’s youth is imperative.

“The most important thing we can do at the local level to prevent these 
tragic events is to keep investing in our young people. When we cut the 
ribbon on a new soccer field, we’re not trying to create the next Messi. 
We’re giving young people an outlet, and data shows us that young people 
who stay in school and are engaged in extracurricular activities are far 
less likely to find themselves shooting each other at midnight,” Holt 
wrote.
