I don't know what to tell you, but if you run up on a "Sunday Funday" event at the campground you're staying at, I'm going to suggest packing up early.
This happened in Oklahoma at Arcadia Lake campground where a "hang out" event was scheduled. Attendees were supposed to "leave the BS at home" but apparently the message wasn't heard.

I won't post the videos of the party directly into this story because they are gross, but here's what that scene looked like:

Ahh, a day at the campground. Blasting rap, twerking, drinking, and shooting people.
Who could have seen "Sunday Fun Day" ending like this.

Edmond, OK - The Edmond Police Department is investigating a shooting reported just after 9:00 p.m. on Sunday, May 3, at Arcadia Lake near the Scissortail Campground.
The incident occurred during an unsanctioned party that began after dark and was advertised across multiple social media platforms, drawing a large crowd of young adults from across the metro area. The event was not a permitted or reserved gathering.
Responding officers located numerous individuals with injuries after receiving multiple 911 calls reporting shots fired. At this time, approximately 23 people have been identified with injuries ranging in severity, including gunshot wounds. Several were transported to area hospitals, and additional individuals sought treatment on their own.
23 injured, no one killed, no shooter identified, and complete silence from the gun-control crowd.
The media, for some reason, won't mention anything about the kind of party it was or the kind of people present.
Here's how CNN covered this:

"Youth parties," meaning grown adults acting like idiots.
Here's the BBC's headline:

"Lake party," implying it was some redneck yacht club get together and not an unauthorized takeover of a campground.
Here's the failing New York Times:

"A crowd of young people ... having a party."
I'm sure that accountability and an honest discussion about the culture around these parties are coming from the media anytime now!!!
