MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) – There was a shootout in a Manchester bar early Saturday, leaving one man wounded – and under arrest.
It all started when Eliezer Encarnacion, 26, of Manchester, and another man were thrown out of the Uptown Tavern just before 1 a.m., following a confrontation with employees, police said.
Encarnacion pulled a gun and fired several shots at tavern employees, police said. A customer who saw the shooting then pulled his own gun and wounded the gunman.
Encarnacion ran off, wounded in the arm and leg, but police found him a short while later. After surgery, he was recovering and awaiting a court date on attempted assault and firearms charges. His companion was arrested on a probation violation.
No one in the bar was hurt.
