2 suspects sought in Toledo bar shooting
Toledo police are trying to identify two additional suspects in its investigation into a shooting early Saturday morning at a central- city bar that left one man in critical condition.
Alvin Tate, 28, of 4423 Cape Lane, Toledo, is in critical condition at Toledo Hospital, a hospital spokesman said.
Several shots were fired outside Big Shots bar, 931 West Central Ave. Two officers who had been observing the bar chased Tate. When Tate turned and pointed a 9mm semiautomatic handgun at them, they shot 10 rounds, striking him twice in the upper torso, police said. One bullet was removed during surgery Saturday, Chief Navarre said.
Nearly 50 people had gathered outside the bar shortly after 2 a.m. and there appeared to have been three shooters, but Tate is the only one who has been identified, he said.
Detectives will review police reports and 911 calls to Big Shots, the chief said, noting that there's no video available on the shootout. Last year, the city tried to block renewal of the bar's license.
Police interviewed another man, Michael Lawson, 30, of 2721 Glenwood Ave., who was shot at the scene but not by police. He was released from Mercy St. Vincent Sunday morning, according to a hospital spokesman.
