Stanton, Delaware – The Delaware State Police are investigating a shots fired incident that occurred in the early morning hours at a local bar.

On February 28, 2019 at approximately 1:27 a.m., troopers were dispatched to the Bank Shots Bar located at 106 Main Street, Stanton for a shots fired incident that followed an altercation that occurred inside the bar. It was determined that multiple fights occurred both inside and outside of the establishment where two black females were involved. After a fight outside was broken up, one of the female suspects retrieved a gun from the trunk of her car after an employee locked the females out of the bar.

Once outside one of the female suspects fired multiple rounds toward the bar which struck the building. No patrons or employees were struck and there were no reports of injury as a result of this incident.
