They said a woman, who is in her 20s and was not the intended target, was hit in her upper body. She suffered a life-threatening wound.

At some point later, a man showed up at a nearby hospital with a gunshot wound to his chest.

Police believe he was the second victim from that shooting, and that he was the intended target.

They say the suspected shooter tried to run from the scene, but a bar bouncer held onto him until officers arrived.

That man, who is in his 30s, was taken into custody on unknown charges.
