The incident unfolded near the Paycom Center, which is situated in downtown Oklahoma City.

Oklahoma won its first NBA championship after defeating the Pacers 103 points to 91 on Sunday night.

One person was shot as fans celebrated, according to ABC News.

Rob Robertson, a police chief, described the scene as “hectic.”

Police believe that a fight broke out before the shooting, as per the Fox affiliate KOKH-TV.

Cops believe the victim, who hasn’t been identified, is expected to recover. 

But, officers are hunting for the shooters who fled the scene.

The Oklahoma City Thunder has existed in its current form since 2008.

The team was originally known as the Seattle Supersonics before relocating to Oklahoma 17 years ago.

Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Pacers 4-3 following the series.

The shooting happened just days after shots were fired at a Juneteenth celebration in Tulsa.

One person was killed while seven were left injured.

The fatality was identified as a man, 22, while an elderly woman and a boy, 17, were wounded.

One man, 24, was rushed to the hospital in a critical condition.

Meanwhile, two men were injured in a shooting that erupted outside a nightclub in the early hours of Saturday morning, as reported by KFOR-TV.

A security guard was shot after blocking a man from stepping foot into the venue.

This year has seen 175 mass shootings across the US, according to the Gun Violence Archive.

A mass shooting is an incident where at least four people are injured or killed, according to the database.

The U.S. Sun reported how two women were shot at the Philadelphia Eagles victory parade earlier this year.

The Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in this year’s Super Bowl on February 9.
