Anchorage police have arrested a 27-year-old man for allegedly shooting an employee at a downtown Anchorage bar during a fight.
Police say Reynaldo E. Armstead was at the Gaslight Bar on Fourth Avenue in downtown Anchorage early Saturday morning when a scuffle broke out.
“One of the participants pulled out a handgun and began waving it around,” Anchorage police said in a statement.
An employee tried to break up the fight and was shot by Armstead, according to police.
He was taken to a hospital with serious injuries, police said.
Armstead was charged with assault, weapons misconduct and reckless endangerment, police said Sunday. He also had a felony warrant for failing to stop at the direction of an officer.
