Police say the motorcycle expo is ongoing, though some road closures are in effect. Other events scheduled at the National Western Complex Saturday night will continue as scheduled.

Darren Moffitt was eating in a nearby restaurant when the shooting happened. He said he remembers somebody yelling for everyone to get on the floor, and crawled under the table.

He said the air smelled like smoke, and when he left the restaurant, he walked through a puddle of blood.
