Police are searching for a second suspect they say fired the same gun into the air after Soria first pointed it at a security guard when the pair was denied entry to the Mojo Lounge. The security guard pointed out that the gun was unloaded and Soria allegedly went and retrieved a loaded magazine, police said.
