When one of the men went to his car to get a gun and the other man attempted to flee the scene, several bullets hit the drivers’s side door of his car. Liberty police said when his car was hit by shots, the driver crashed into a parked car causing extensive damage, according to 21 WFMJ TV, The Vindicator’s broadcast partner.

The incident occurred just after 11:30 p.m. Police said people inside the restaurant barricaded themselves in a back room for protection when they heard shots fired. No patrons were hurt during the incident.
