Shots fired at the Oklahoma State Fair scared attendees who raced from the area, causing a stampede, News9 reporter Storme Jones captured in one video.
Shortly before 9 p.m. Saturday, gunshots were fired, News9 reporters revealed while outside the scene.
KFOR's Dylan Brown posted a video confirming shots being fired from inside the Bennett Center.
News9 reported that the incident involved a group of men arguing. Two people are in custody, and one with gunshot wounds to the chest was taken to a hospital in critical condition, said Sgt. Valerie Littlejohn during a briefing before midnight.
Witness Micha deSpain told KWTV reporters that he'd passed the men moments earlier and heard them arguing. He identified them as in their 20s. One man shouted, "You don't know who I am!" The witness said he thought it was a joke, but not long after, he heard the gunshots.
Within an hour, fairground officials told people to leave. Sept. 23 is typically the final night of the state fair, but it was scheduled to be open another night since it was a weekend. It is unclear now if it will reopen.
One video shows the aftermath of the shots as people are racing from the building and police officers are entering with guns drawn.
