Arrest papers say the suspect and victim were acquaintances and that the two people got into a fight in a bathroom before shots were fired. The victim was shot eight times but survived.

Then, outside in the parking lot, responding deputies shot and killed a man who allegedly wouldn't put down a gun he was carrying.

So far police haven't said if or how the two shootings are related.

"We'll see how it plays out in the parking lot when a sheriff's deputy encounters an armed guy -- we'll get a chance to investigate that, but I dont want to prejudge the situation," said District Attorney George Brauchler.

The Douglas County Sheriff's Office says the deputy who fired shots in the parking lot is on administrative leave.
