A 25 year old man was transported to the hospital with a gunshot wound to the leg and has since been released. A 36 year old man was taken to the hospital by private car with a gunshot wound to the chest and is still receiving treatment.
Sgt. Mark Jackson confirmed that two men, a 28 and 32 year old, died in the shooting this morning. Police are withholding the names of the victims to notify the next-of-kin.
Emmet Kimberlin has lived in his home, right next to the bar, for three and a half months.
He says he was watching TV when he heard the gunshots.
“Five to seven gunshots and basically after that I woke my girlfriend up and it was just chaos, people running, cars,” said Kimberlin.
Jasper Lee has lived in the apartment complex across the street for three years.
He says he was about to go walk his dog when he heard three shots go off.
Lee says the incident makes him worry about the safety of those who live in the area.
“Something like that happens and someone could end up catching a stray bullet from whatever goes on across there at that bar,” said Lee.
Detectives are interviewing several witnesses, but no arrests have been made. Police have not said if they have identified any suspects.
Sgt. Jackson says that homicide detectives and investigators are expected to give an update about this incident on Monday.
