CHOCTAW, Okla. —
One person is dead after a shooting during Choctaw High School's football
game.

Around 10:15 p.m. on Friday, officials responded to a scene during the
Choctaw-Del City game near Northeast 10th Street and Henney Road. Choctaw
Police Chief Kelly Marshall said four people were shot.

On Saturday, Choctaw police confirmed one person was killed.

One of the victims was taken to a hospital, where they were treated and
released for a wound to their thigh. Marshall also said at least one of
the victims was a student.

Police said they do not have a suspect in custody and believe the shooter
took off.

Del City Police Chief Loyd Berger said an officer discharged their weapon
during the incident. He did not release any other details about that shot
being fired.

The superintendents of Choctaw-Nicoma Park Schools and Mid-Del Schools,
David Reid and Rick Cobb, released a joint statement saying, "Our thoughts
and prayers go out to all affected by tonight’s incident. Both districts
are working jointly with the police presence from Choctaw, Del City, and
Oklahoma County in an ongoing investigation. The police will provide
further details as they become available."

Skordle.TV’s live coverage of the game showed the moments when shots were
fired. The video shows players running from the field and others getting
on the ground. Everyone on the field was OK.

Mark Rodgers, who was covering the game for The Sports Animal, told KOCO 5
that he heard the shots ring out with less than five minutes left in the
third quarter, stopping the game. He said the incident started in the
northeast corner of the stadium with Del City players running. Choctaw
High School players also ran off the field.

KOCO 5 will provide updates as they become available.
