However, a quarrel between several groups of customers was reported after the show ended. Three gunshots were reportedly heard during the fight, causing other customers to flee in panic.
Local media also reported that the venue was previously investigated for allegedly allowing a customer to carry a firearm and was ordered a temporary closure. However, the venue reportedly violated the police order and continued its operation which eventually ended up in a shooting with an injury.
A bar owner whose name was not released by law enforcement and the remaining customers were taken to the police station for further questioning about the incident and to find the alleged shooter and those who were involved in the fight.
