(CBS/AP) OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. - Authorities said gunshots rang out while thousands of people left an NBA playoff game Monday night between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Los Angeles Lakers. The shooting injured eight people in downtown Oklahoma City, CBS affiliate News 9 reports.

Emergency Medical Services Authority spokeswoman Lara O'Leary said seven people were taken to a hospital with gunshot wounds after the melee. A pregnant woman was also taken to the hospital after allegedly being kicked during the scuffle.

The pregnant woman and six of the gunshot victims are in good condition, O'Leary said. However, one person is in critical condition.
