COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio police are investigating a bar fight that escalated into gunfire that injured seven, none seriously.

The seven were treated at hospitals around Columbus Saturday after the apparent gun battle at a bar on the city's north side.

The shooting happened around 1:30 a.m. at Crabby Tom's near the bar's rear patio. Police say

more than 30 shots were fired and several gunmen may have been involved, according to a report by WBNS-TV. A police report said a shooter fired over a fence at victims on the patio.

There was no answer at the bar Sunday.

In Toledo, the city is trying to shut down a bar where at least five gunmen fired numerous shots earlier this month in a fight captured on security cameras. No injuries were reported.
