Two people were taken to the hospital after a physical altercation ended with shots being fired at an Edgewater bar early Saturday morning, police say.
According to the city of Edgewater, a group of people got into an altercation of some kind around 1:45 a.m. at Skyline Pub near Sheridan Boulevard and West 20th Avenue.
The altercation started between several patrons in the patio area of the bar and then moved outside into the parking lot, according to the Edgewater Police Department.
Authorities said the suspect, Sebastain Kott, then pulled out a gun and shot two people. They said Kott and the victims did not know each other and all three were patrons of the pub.
One of the people who was shot suffered non-life-threatening injuries and the other is in "stable but critical condition," according to police. They also have not been identified but a police spokesman said one is a man and the other is a woman. Both are 28 years old.
Authorities placed Kott under arrest and booked him into the Jefferson County Jail. He is facing charges of criminal attempt of murder in the first degree, assault in the first degree, illegal discharge of a firearm, and prohibited use of weapons.
Skyline Pub sits immediately west of Sloan Lake in a strip mall with other businesses on either side.
