Bar fight ends in fatal shooting

February 11, 2012

Police are investigating a killing outside a West Oak Lane nightclub earlier this morning.

Around 1:15 a.m., police found a 30-year-old man shot in the shoulder outside Whispers Inn on the 7600 block of Ogontz Avenue, said police spokeswoman Officer Christine O'Brien.

It appears the shooting developed from a fight started inside the lounge that spilled onto the sidewalk.

The victim was transported to Albert Einstein Medical Center where he was pronounced dead at 1:29 a.m., O'Brien said.

Police have not yet released the victim's name.

Story continues below.

Preliminary reports said a suspect was arrested shortly after the shooting, but homicide investigators said Saturday morning that no suspect had been charged in the killing.

Police were interviewing witnesses Saturday morning, but had not yet released a description of the shooter.
