On Saturday, Mid-Del schools released a statement saying a Midwest City student had died in the shooting.

Read the full statement released on Saturday by Mid-Del Schools:

Dear Bomber Families:

It is with deep sadness that we inform you of the death of one of our Bombers who was in attendance during the Del City at Choctaw High School football game on Friday, August 25. There are no words to adequately describe our sympathy for the family of our student. Additionally, we know that the coming days and weeks will be difficult for our students and staff. We will have grief counselors available for anyone needing to speak with someone.

Any time a student death occurs, reactions are varied. Please be alert for any of the following indications of grief

Physical - changes to sleep patterns or eating habits

Emotional - changes such as unusual fears, anger, worry or clinging

Social - loss of interest in usual activities.

Open communication between parents and children is very important. If you think your child is having a particularly difficult time dealing with this situation, please contact the school for assistance.

In a press release sent to media Saturday morning, Choctaw Police Chief Kelly Marshall confirmed that a 16-year-old boy had died. The Del City Eagles were in Choctaw to face the Yellowjackets in Week 0 of the high school football season.

A 42-year-old man was shot in the chest as well, Marshall confirmed. He was transported to a local hospital where he spent most of the night in surgery. Police added that several people at the scene contributed life-saving measures to the man.

From the press release sent by Choctaw Police:

Choctaw Superintendent David Reid, Choctaw Safety Coordinator Steve Keiffer and his brother who is a trauma surgeon began life-saving efforts on the 42-year-old who had sustained the gun shot to his chest.

A number of parents and students who were present during the shooting returned to the scene on Saturday to recall exactly what happened and gather any belongings that were left behind during the frenzy.

“I remember hearing someone say 'Oh my god they're shooting' and that panic started to really set in and everyone just went," recalled Jared Johnson, a member of the Choctaw band.

Choctaw mother Allison Yarbrough returned to the spot where she huddled with her daughter.

"But I was scared because I didn't know where they were coming from. So, we just huddled right down here until everything calmed down," Yarbrough said.

Some fled in fear, while some were frozen in fear.

"It just was a lot and I guess it didn't hit me until this morning. The magnitude of it and how it's affected so many of our children," Yarbrough said.

One cheerleader was also shot in her thigh, treated and then released.

"Everybody sort of scattered right here and screamed,” said Yarbrough. "The parents picked her up and put her on the table just right over here in the corner. One guy was holding his hand down on her thigh, her upper left thigh."

In all, there were five injuries due to the incident, police said, including two girls believed to be students who were hurt trying to escape the scene. One sustained a broken wrist, and the other a broken leg.

The shooting also involved an off-duty Del City Police officer, according to Police Chief Loyd Berger.

"One of our officers was involved and discharged his weapon. As far as who or if he hit anything, I really don't know at this point," said Berger.

Berger said that two of his officers were at the game to help with security.

According to the press release from Choctaw Police, several law enforcement institutions are cooperating on the investigation.

The Choctaw Police Department is investigating the homicide and is being assisted by the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office, Del City Investigators are working in conjunction as well. The Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office Technical Investigators responded to the scene and processed the evidence.

Multiple video broadcasts from the game showed players and fans running away from the Del City side of the stadium after at least two gunshots.

Three people were detained at the time, but the Choctaw Police chief said Friday night that she could not confirm that they had anything to do with the shooting. Marshall said nobody was in custody for this shooting.

News 9 received a joint statement early Saturday morning from school officials in Del City and Choctaw:

During live coverage late Friday and early Saturday on News 9, a Del City parent talked to News 9's Deanne Stein about what she witnessed.

"(My daughter) called me and told me she and some other students were up under a bleacher, and all I could hear was just screaming and crying and yelling," said Christina Goodwin.

She said her daughter heard gunfire and that it sounded like people were shooting back and forth at each other before everybody took off running.

"I asked her if she was OK, and she said she was OK," Goodwin added.

She said that everybody there was "crying and scared," and it led Goodwin to prayer.

"I just started praying for her and them, and that God would watch over them," Goodwin said.
