A man is in critical condition after a shooting at Sports & Spirits, according to the Fort Wayne Police Department.
Officers were called to the bar and found two victims inside suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. There were multiple shell casings outside and the southern-most windows were riddled with bullets, according to police.
One victim, an adult male, was in critical condition and taken to a hospital. The other victim, an adult female, was taken to a hospital in fair condition, police said.
A preliminary investigation said the suspects, who were identified by witnesses and surveillance video, were escorted out of the bar after a disturbance then began to shoot through the window.
Today's shooting was not the first at the bar this year
A shooting in the parking lot in March left a man and woman with serious injuries. Police at the time said an altercation in the lot of Sports & Spirits preceded the shooting.
A man was shot and critically injured near the bar in September 2012 and another in October 2011, according to The Journal Gazette archives.

I am going to assume that the suspects were NOT shooting through the window into the bar in lawful self-defense. With that assumption I'll be the first to state that the suspects are violent criminals that should go to prison for decades.
Having said all that, STOP CONFLATING ARMED VIOLENT CRIMINALS WITH CITIZENS WHO WISH TO BE ARMED TO DEFEND THEMSELVES FROM SUCH VIOLENT CRIMINALS.
I am not armed so I can shoot someone through a window after they insult me. I am armed so that I have more options available if someone attacks me. Nothing more, nothing less.

Except when an armed citizen like yourself suddenly goes over to the dark side. I conflate you lawful gun owners with your criminal cousins because too often you act the same.
DeleteMikeb, you ignore the number of good citizens who defend themselves every year, and you exaggerate the number who become bad.
DeleteThis isn't about YOU.
DeleteNo surprise you think it's only about YOU
the site liar has refused multiple times to show facts to back up his claim, just another lie I'm sure.
DeleteGunsucks have many stupid ideas. In fact, it's hard to find a gunsuck idea that is not stupid, starting with the notion that a gun is a defensive weapon. But the notion that alcohol and guns can mix is arguably the most gratingly stupid.
