Shot fired in bar fight

YOUNGSTOWN

Police reports said someone fired a shot into the ceiling of a 3114 South Ave. bar late Monday evening during a brawl.

Reports said officers were called about 11:35 p.m. to Club Twisted, where a bartender told them a man was arguing with several people. When she told them to stop, one of them threw a glass at her and another man took a gun out of his pants and fired a round into the ceiling.

The owner of the bar was called, and when he arrived, a woman sucker-punched him in the face, reports said.

No one was injured in the shooting. No arrests were made, but detectives are investigating, reports said.
