One day later...''Man charged with shooting at bouncer''

One day after a man murdered four people in a "no-guns" bar in Columbus, the Dayton Daily News is reporting that a 28-year-old man tried to shoot a bouncer Wednesday night as the bouncer escorted him from Sloopy's Bar in the Oregon Historic District.

The paper reports the man was taken to the Montgomery County Jail pending the filing of charges — aggravated assault, carrying a concealed weapon and inducing panic.

Police dispatched to the bar, 613 E. Fifth St., at 11:45 p.m. on a disturbance call were told by witnesses that the man was being escorted out by three bouncers because he had been in a disturbance involving a woman.

The DDN story states that when the bouncers approached the emergency exit door that faces Fifth Street, the man pulled a firearm from his waistband, pointed it at a bouncer and pulled the trigger, but the gun did not fire.

The bouncer tried to restrain the man, who "grabbed the slide to the weapon and chambered a round into the cylinder of the gun," the report said, then he ran about 10 yards from the door and fired once at the bouncer.

Police arrested him near the bar and found a 9mm automatic pistol during a search of the area.
