Police also provided some investigative insight on other questions - such as what did the bartender who witnessed the entire interaction hear the victim and the suspect talking about - and how did a 16 year old just walk right into the bar?:

Reporter
"While they were conversing, another woman was seen behind the bar, she went into a side room right before he started shooting. Have you been able to ascertain whether or not the gunman was threatening her too?"

ASP Stacy Smith, Staff Officer
"We have sought to speak with all persons who were able to provide clarity as to this incident however as you would imagine they are shaken so much has not been obtained from them so far but as I have been saying as more information is revealed and it become necessary to be disclosed that will be done."

Reporter
"Can police say whether or not this bar had any kind of security along the lines of that because how did a minor get into bar, and how did he get into a bar with a weapon?"

ASP Stacy Smith, Staff Officer
"Yes indeed that is concerning and I made inquiries in relation to that in particular and what was told is that the security was suppose to come at 7:00 or 7:30 so it just happened that he arrived there before that time but they do have a police officer that works special duty at that location."

We'll keep following the case closely.
