OKC Thunder
Shooting Just Blocks From Arena
… Unrelated To Game
Gunshots rang out just a few blocks from the Thunder arena in Oklahoma City, as players and fans were celebrating their first NBA title … but police tell TMZ Sports the violent incident had nothing to do with the game!
While fans were celebrating the franchise’s first-ever championship in the streets nearby, one person was shot in the lower leg.
A local FOX 25 reporter, Paige Taylor, was actually setting up for a live shot when she captured footage of bystanders running for cover after shots were fired.
FOX 25’s photographer Brian and reporter Paige Taylor were getting ready for their live hit for the Game 7 NBA Finals Post-Game Show when shots were fired in downtown Oklahoma City, on the east side of Scissortail Park after the OKC Thunder won the NBA Championship.
