Osage County deputies are looking for a second person of interest after a shooting at the Osage Casino and Hotel in Tulsa.

Deputies say a man and woman are in the hospital recovering after multiple gunshots were fired in the hotel part of the casino. They say both of those people are expected to be okay.

Osage County deputies say they are still looking for Malik Sampson because he is a person of interest in the shooting.

The sheriff says deputies are now looking for another person of interest -- investigators released a photo, but not the person’s name yet.

Deputies say they found the man and woman shot on the first floor of the hotel portion of the building.

The sheriff's office is unsure of the relationship between everyone involved in the incident, and they say they are still trying to piece together what led up to the shooting.
