A 21-year-old man was
shot in the groin and upper left leg about 11:55 p.m. Friday at a
North Toledo bar after a bouncer told the man he couldn't enter,
police said.
Lamar Allen, whose address was not immediately available, was
taken to St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center. A hospital spokesman
said she had no information about a person by that name.
Police said Mr. Allen
and two other men went to Marteds Cafe, 2853 Lagrange St. Police
said that Mr. Allen was not allowed in because he did not have
valid identification and a witness told police, he was recognized
as being part of a disturbance on New Year's Eve.
Police said Mr. Allen
began to yell and push his way in and punched the bouncer who
tried to stop him.
Afterward, a witness
heard several gun shots. A limping Mr. Allen and others ran from
the bar. He was found more than two blocks away in the 200 block
of Austin Street.
