Police arrived at the bar at 750 21st St. around 11 p.m. and found a man who’d been shot in the stomach or chest a small caliber pistol. Medics transported the man, Benjamin F. Phares Jr., 49, to the hospital for treatment. He is out of surgery and now listed in serious condition.
A video captured by a bar patron shows three shots were fired at Phares while he was aggressively threatening a bar patron. The man who shot him was also transported to the hospital and taken into police custody, but was later released.
