“This ever-growing game night crowd that gathers on the street outside the building, that can't continue,” Cornett said. “There are too many public safety concerns. As much as we love the expression of enthusiasm, it's no longer a workable situation.”

Cornett said city officials haven't met with Thunder management to discuss alternatives, but options such as limiting the crowd size or moving spectators inside the Cox Convention Center are on the table.

“We need to hear from the team and what direction they would like to head,” Cornett said. “I'm sure we can come up with something that is workable.”

4:45 p.m. Police have arrested a man in connection with the shooting.

Rodney Dewon Hill, 19, was arrested Tuesday afternoon on eight complaints of shooting with intent to kill, police said. An arrest warrant filed Tuesday at the Oklahoma County courthouse said Hill was identified by one of the victims of the shooting after the Oklahoma City Thunder's Monday night game.

According to the affidavit, Hill, two other men and a woman were involved in an altercation with several of the shooting victims before one of the men pulled a gun and started shooting into the crowd. A pregnant woman was trampled and kicked during the melee.

The affidavit does not say whether Hill was the shooter or if it was one of the other people in his group.

“During the course of the investigation, the defendant was identified as one of the black males involved in the altercation,” the affidavit states. “The defendant was known by the victim/witness who identified him.”

4:30 p.m. Thunder Alley may not return after Monday's shooting, city officials said Tuesday.

Police Chief Bill Citty said he and Mayor Mick Cornett met Tuesday afternoon to discuss the incident and concerns that the crowd outside was getting too large.

“We're discussing alternatives to Thunder Alley,” Citty said. “You are getting such large crowds that they become uncontrollable.

Citty said there are some indications the altercation that ended in gunfire in Bricktown about 12:30 a.m. originated in Thunder Alley, but the crowd size would be a concern even without the shooting.

“You could have something else,” Citty said. “Maybe someone gets sick or there is a medical problem. It creates problems.”

3:30 p.m. Oklahoma City police said they still are trying to track down all the victims from Monday night's shooting in Bricktown.

Capt. Dexter Nelson said several of the eight people who were injured were treated and released, and detectives have yet to interview them.

Police don't know whether the people involved were part of the crowd in Thunder Alley or were in Bricktown for some other reason.

“We don't have any information that leads us to believe it had anything to do with the game,” Nelson said. “It occurred three blocks away. The only thing the game did is draw a crowd. We've had similar crowds in Bricktown before.”

1:25 p.m. Thunder season-ticketholder Joe Fairbanks, 29, of Norman, said he first thought the gunshots were firecrackers.

“We could see people lying on the ground in front of the ballpark,” Fairbanks said. “People were screaming, there were gunshots, and that's about it — and there were some people laughing like they weren't sure it was serious or not.”

Fairbanks looked down and saw he was standing on bloodstained concrete. He picked up the slug of a bullet that lay at his feet.

Police and paramedics arrived at the scene quickly, he said.

“For some reason I got the sense that the cops had it pretty well under control,” Fairbanks said. “Most people from the game were pretty calm, and a lot of people just stood around watching.”

Some of the shooting victims were taken away quickly by ambulances.

“One ... was extremely still, and they were working on that person quite a while before they put him in the ambulance,” Fairbanks said.

12:35 p.m. Police said Tuesday the shooting apparently started after a confrontation between a group of men and a group of women in the 200 block of E Reno Ave.

Capt. Dexter Nelson said police haven't interviewed all the victims yet and don't know if they were in the same group or if those hit were involved in the altercation or were just bystanders caught in the crossfire.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call investigators at 297-1126 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. or Crime Stoppers at 235-7300.

11:45 a.m. “We're very disappointed. I think the entire city was excited about the basketball win, and to see the results that took place on the streets a little bit later I think put a cloud over the entire evening,” Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett said Tuesday. “We're trying to figure out now what to do to try and diminish the chances that it might happen again.”

11:20 a.m. Julian Wilson, a University of Oklahoma football player, said on Twitter the shooting victim who had been in critical condition is Norman Michael Richards, 22. In a tweet before noon Wilson wrote, “Just got some good news! He's going to make it. God is good!”
