‘People were running everywhere': 7 injured after shoot-out in Midtown
OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — Seven people were shot Monday night in Midtown near The Collective, a popular food court.
A woman who did not want to be identified said she left the area shortly before the shooting, feeling tensions rise.
'I could kind of tell there was something happening,' said the woman. 'There wasn't really anyone at the door manning the door to kind of regulate what was going on.'
Two other people were hurt by flying glass when the front window shattered.

Nicholas Johnson was at a bar nearby when he heard the gunshots.
'People were running everywhere. It was, it was pretty loud,' said Johnson. 'I was behind the trash and between both of the bars, and that's where I could see the lady, laying there on the ground, and then the glass being shot out in front of the collective.'
The food court's operators tried to help customers take cover.
'People were running into the collective, and the staff was getting them and making sure they were staying as safe as possible in there,' said Nathan Wiewel, The Collective spokesman.
The business says they hired additional security Monday night due to the playoff game & Cinco de Mayo.
The violence happened on the sidewalk and intersection outside their control.
'Who could plan for a situation like this? It was spur of the moment. Just the good folks that work here at the collective saying like, how can we help these people?' said Wiewel.
Police said at least two people were firing shots, and they are still on the run.
'Hearing what transpired there after we left was really surprising,' said the woman.
