Two individuals wearing ski masks opened fire, injuring between 18 and 23 people with varying degrees of severity. Victims were transported to local hospitals by ambulance and private vehicles, with the victim count continuing to rise as investigators identified people who had been transported privately without initial reporting to emergency dispatch.

Active Investigation

As of the morning of May 4, no suspects had been arrested in connection with the shooting. The Edmond Police Department, Oklahoma City Police Department, and Oklahoma Highway Patrol launched a coordinated investigation. Investigators are reviewing footage from Flock automatic license plate reader technology deployed in the area to identify vehicles that were present at the scene during the time of the shooting. The agencies have established a reunification site at a local Walmart and are actively seeking witness information. The ongoing investigation remains in its initial phase, with detectives and federal law enforcement working to establish the identities and location of the two suspects.

The shooting represents a significant mass casualty incident affecting Oklahoma City’s broader metropolitan region. Emergency response operations continue as hospitals treat victims of varying injury severity.
