No one is in custody Monday, and police are reviewing video footage from the bar.

Police said they are looking for a man in connection with the shooting.

Witnesses said, after getting in an argument in the bar, two men left. One returned and started shooting through the bar's window from the outside, witnesses said.

Plywood covered a window Monday.

Some neighbors say they are concerned about this happening in an otherwise quiet residential neighborhood.

"There's a lot of elements a bar brings to a neighborhood. There's some positives, but right now the negatives are outweighing the positives, specifically with the bar," neighborhood resident Leo Torres said.

Torres says he and many of his neighbors have concerns about the bar, which is open until 3 a.m. on weekends.

In April an alleged drunk driver who had been at the bar drove through the wall of the toy store next-door.

The owners are now trying to sell the business and move out of the neighborhood.

Several neighbors say they plan to discuss the issues with the bar at an upcoming ward meeting called by Alderman Micah Caldwell, who did not respond to a request for comment.

"Those things, we're not talking about a situation where it's just a fight. These are life-threatening situations. Things happening that we don't want to happen and it's scary," Torres said.

The bar's owners declined to comment.
