Police said the fight originated inside the Cloud Factory Hookah Lounge, about an hour before closing time.

The altercation spilled onto the sidewalk and that's when investigators said a 28-year-old man was shot at least four times. He was taken to the hospital in critical condition.

A 25-year-old man was shot once in the leg, but police said he still managed to walk about half a mile to Pennsylvania Hospital for treatment.

Police said a third male was injured trying to break up the fight. He was hospitalized in stable condition.



Bullet holes could be seen in a mailbox on the street and the front window of the hookah lounge.
