A man was taken to the hospital after being shot on Baxter Avenue in the Highlands on Sunday morning, according to Louisville Metro Police.
Police believe it was following a large fight at a bar that was all caught on video.
Louisville Metro Police Department spokesperson Dwight Mitchell said police responded to a shooting in the 900 block of Baxter Avenue around 3 a.m. The man was taken to University of Louisville Hospital with what appears to be non-life-threatening injuries.
The patrons got into some sort of scuffle on the back patio and security stepped in and then things escalated from there. At one point, metal chairs were being thrown.
Witnesses said it started with about 20 to 30 people then quickly to more than 100. The bar told everyone to leave about 15 minutes after.
Louisville Metro Police said a short time later the shooting happened near the bar. They believe it was a spillover and related to that earlier fight. Witnesses said the initially fight grew very big, very quickly.
There aren’t any known suspects. LMPD’s Non-Fatal Shooting Unit is investigating the incident.
