A patron standing outside was robbed of his cell phone before the suspects ordered everyone inside to get on the ground. Armed with a shotgun, one shot was fired into the ceiling of the bar. The shooter was eventually overpowered by employees and patrons during a scuffle.

All three suspects fled, but the shotgun was held for police.

One male was taken to hospital in stable condition and later released.
