COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- Police are investigating a series of overnight incidents involving a disturbance, an assault, a shooting, and a robbery at and near a bar in the 1600 block of Jet Wing Drive. Officers also arrested the club owner for interfering during the emergency response.
The chaotic sequence began late Saturday night with reports of a large gathering in the parking lot just before 10:30 p.m. Officers observed numerous adults and juveniles in the parking lot and contacted three juvenile girls and cited one for alcohol possession.
Then, at about 12:36 a.m. Sunday, officers received a call reporting that a girl was beaten up by several other girls in the same parking lot.
Video footage showed approximately two dozen people in a physical disturbance before officers arrived and multiple people ran inside the club as police pulled up. Officers entered the club to check on patrons, including suspected juveniles and locate the assault victim. While at the scene, police detained and arrested the club owner for interfering with officers.
While completing a citation, officers heard several gunshots southwest of the venue and were directed to a gas station in the 1700 block of Jet Wing Drive, where shell casings were recovered in the roadway. It was then determined that a parked, occupied car had been shot at least twice. No injuries were reported from the gunfire, according to police.
At approximately 3:10 a.m., officers received a robbery call at the bar that was linked to the earlier parking lot assault.
