OKLAHOMA CITY -

Police said they responded to the bar to investigate a call of shots fired around 9 p.m. at the Whiskey Barrel Saloon on Newcastle Drive near Portland.

Once inside, they found three men dead, and three others injured.

While two were treated for non-life-threatening injuries, a man remains hospitalized in critical condition.

The owners let News 9 inside on Sunday, as a shaken-up staff worked to clean up pools of blood.

Police said that at this point in the investigation, there are no new details to share.

Police say they don't have a suspect, or motive.

Crime Scene investigators worked through the night and the bar owner said the victims bodies were not removed from the bar until late Sunday morning.

The suspect, or suspects, are still at large so if you have any information call the homicide tip line.

This is a developing story, stay tuned for updates.
