According to reports, one person hurt, and one in custody

  Wednesday afternoon shooting at Wildhorse Resort Casino in Pendleton

Around 2 PM the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, or CTUIR, issued a statement, according to the East Oregonian.

The statement said one person was hurt, and one was in custody after what was reported as a "shootout" at the casino at Wildhorse.

The East Oregonian and others are reporting there were 20 officers from Pendleton, Tribal Officers, FBI, and Umatilla County Sheriff's Deputies at the scene.

No word as to what led to the gunfire, but the report says an armed gunman approached the facility and was intercepted by Police at the door. That is reportedly when the shooting began.
