Police say two men were shot in the chest in the parking lot of Zunex Sports Bar located at 7102 Lyons Avenue.

The preliminary investigation revealed that the two men were drinking at the bar and one of the men stole the waitress’s phone, which was later revealed on camera.

The waitress confronted the man she saw on camera stealing her phone, but he denied the allegations.

After the man denied stealing the phone, the waitress called her boyfriend who was nearby and he came to confront the man who stole the phone, and a fight ensued.

During the fight, the boyfriend pulled his gun out of his car and began hitting the man in the head with his gun.

Attempting to help his friend, the second man joined in the fight and at that point the boyfriend fired two shots, hitting both men once in the chest.

The waitresses eventually removed the boyfriend’s gun before police arrived. The boyfriend remained at the scene of the shooting.
