The shooting in Oklahoma that left more than a dozen victims hospitalized Sunday night happened at a popular outdoor recreational spot.

Gunfire erupted around 9 p.m. at a party near Arcadia Lake, which is located around 13 miles north of Oklahoma City.

The lake has a fishing pier and a dock that is heated and covered for year-round fishing, the city says on its website. Fish found at the lake include bluegill, channel catfish, blue catfish and largemouth bass.

The lake covers approximately 1,820 surface acres with 26 miles of shoreline, surrounded by hundreds of acres of wooded hills.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built the lake, which opened in 1987.
