Oklahoma City Police investigate the scene at Whiskey Barrel Saloon in Oklahoma City, Okla. on Sunday, April 2, 2023, after a shooting Saturday evening  killed at least three  people.

OKLAHOMA CITY — At least three people are dead and another three were injured after a shooting inside a southwest Oklahoma City bar Saturday night, police said.

Six people were shot inside the Whiskey Barrel Saloon about 9 p.m. Saturday night, police Lieutenant Jeff Cooper said. Three were pronounced dead inside the bar while three were transported to the hospital – one in critical condition and two with non-life threatening injuries.

Cooper said there is no suspect information or victim updates at this time. The department typically doesn't receive updates on victims unless they die of their injuries, he said. The bar is at the corner of Newcastle and S Shawnee roads.

Oklahoma City Police Master Sgt. Gary Knight said in an email that preliminary information indicates this was a “shoot-out between several rival biker gangs.”

Even with so many shot, Cooper said the department will treat it "just like any other homicide" in its investigation.
