 A Tulsa gambling casino was put on lockdown Sunday night after someone fired gunshots.

Someone called 911 about 8 p.m. Sunday to say gunshots had been fired at the River Spirit Casino at 8333 South Riverside Drive.

One of the bullets hit the front door of the casino.

Tulsa Police Sergeant Lance Eberle says, "They had reports of shots fired from within the casino and other callers that they had barricaded themselves in the bathroom." 

The Tulsa Police helicopter was used to try to track down whoever fired the shots.

Witnesses inside the casino told police that the shots were fired after two women started arguing at the blackjack tables, then ran out of the casino toward the Arkansas River.

Another witness told police that the women were in the parking garage, but police checked the area and didn't find them.

We're told no one was injured.
