Man Shot at Tampa's Corner Club

A Corner Club patron was standing outside the bar early Thursday morning talking with a woman when he felt a sharp pain in his arm.

That pain, as it turned out, was a gunshot wound, according to the Tampa Police Department.

The man, who has been identified as Joshua Stephen Winkler, 30, of Tampa told police he had left the 1502 E. Sligh Ave. club around 3 a.m. and was standing near the front doors when the incident happened.

Realizing he’d been shot, Winkler drove himself to St. Joseph’s Hospital.

Winkler did not see the shooter.

The case remains under investigation. Winkler is expected to recover.
