On Tuesday, January 15th, 2019, at 2:33 a.m., East Precinct officers responded to the report of a disturbance and shooting at the Dream On Saloon, located at 15920 Southeast Stark Street.
As officers responded to the area, a caller to 9-1-1 reported that an adult male had been shot by a private security guard at the location.
