Victim(s)
Many patronsDetails
Witnesses described a chaotic scene on a porch outside of a downtown bar where many patrons were seated last night after a man approached waving a handgun. One of those who saw him yelled: "Dudes got a gun!" People began ducking and running fearing they were about to be shot. Instead the armed man fled. A short time prior to the incident, he and his girlfriend had been asked to leave the tavern following a minor disturbance. Many Central District officers were dispatched to the scene and the suspect was located nearby. A pellet gun was found inside the couple's car.Released 05/09/2012 at 9:44 AM by PIO Joel DeSpain
