 Shots Fired after Fight at Johnston Bar web posted January 15, 2013 JOHNSTON – A fight that broke out inside of John's Club at 320 Addison Street in Johnston ended with at least two people being injured followed by shots fired nearby around 1 am Sunday. Stray bullets hit a woman's Walker Street home breaking out a window and a glass door. One of the bullets was found inside the home after it passed through the door, then a wall, before coming to rest in another doorjamb. The homeowner was in her bedroom at the time of the shooting incident. No one was struck by any of the bullets fired. According to incident reports released Monday morning, an Edgefield man was at John's Club with his brother when a fight broke out at the back of the club. Several men were attacking his brother with fists, feet, pool sticks and one or two using pistols during the assault. The man and others were able to get his brother out of the club and that took the fight outside. After one of the brothers was being placed in a vehicle to transport him to the hospital, the other brother walked to a nearby home and was approached by the same suspects and at one point was pistol whipped causing him to fall to the ground and suffered several injuries needing stitches. It was then several shots rang out. Witnesses said the shooter was trying to hit one of the two brothers that were attacked inside and outside of the bar. Witnesses were able to identify the shooter and others involved in the melee, though no arrests have been made at this time. A Johnston Police Officer was investigating the fight at John's Club when he reported shots being fired nearby. Another officer investigating the report of bullets fired into the Walker Street home noted finding three spent 9 mm shell casing near the home. It is believed the recovered bullet is a 9 mm as well. It is unknown how many of the rounds hit the home, though incident reports seem to indicate two rounds may have entered the home causing at least $300 in damages. The cases remain under active investigation and arrests are expected. John's Club has a long history of fights and violent outbreaks with Johnston Police. 1301016 1301017 © Copyright 2012 - 2013 All material is property of
