One person is dead after a shooting yesterday morning at the new Osage Casino and Hotel in Bartlesville.

 A spokesperson for the Osage Nation says neither the victim nor the suspect are tribal members; therefore, jurisdictional authority is under the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI).

Osage County Sheriff Eddie Virden believes the original call to the casino was in reference to some possible stolen property. Virden says, once an Osage Nation Police Officer arrived, a confrontation ensued.

Osage Nation Police Department and Osage Casino & Hotel Security are fully cooperating with OSBI on this criminal investigation. Osage Casino & Hotel issued a statement saying the shooting occurred in the parking lot and that no casino employees were involved. They say the safety of guests is of the highest importance and the casino hotel remains open while the investigation continues.

Osage County District Attorney Mike Fisher also confirmed that there was a stabbing that took place at the casino over the weekend.
