Police have not released any information about the shooter at this time.

An employee next to the pub said detectives are looking at security footage from nearby businesses.

Jahada Rasheed was at the bar when the shooting happened and said it was a chaotic scene, with people screaming and running. She said she also heard the gunshot.

“It was loud,” Rasheed said. “You could hear it over the people.”

Rasheed said she is concerned because the shooter is still at large.

“There’s no reason why we all can’t get along, have a good night and all go home,” she said. “We shouldn’t have to worry about, ‘I’m going to the club tonight, am I going to make it home tonight?’”

Police ask anyone at the pub to come forward with any information that may help.
