Witnesses told investigators that someone opened the front door of the bar, reached in and fired three shots, Small said. One of those bullets struck the woman sitting on a bar stool, who was among about five customers at the bar.
Investigators didn't immediately reveal a motive, but did say that officers responded to a shooting and fight near the same bar earlier in the evening. "A little over an hour before this shooting, we got a call for the same location -- 54th and Wyalusing -- for a report of a fight involving at least two people and gunshots," Small said."We believe it may be related."
