The Cowley County Sheriff’s Office has released the names of the four individuals who were found with gunshot wounds at the 7 Clans Gasino north of Newkirk early in the morning on May 3.

All subjects have since been released from hospital care.
Rivers and Juan Martinez are being held in the Cowley County Jail on unrelated charges for probation violation warrants.
