Strip Club Bouncer Shot During Fight: Police

ATLANTA, GA — The bouncer at an Atlanta strip club was shot early Tuesday morning while breaking up a fight inside the club, according to police.

At about 2:30 a.m., Atlanta Police Department officers were called to Club Platinum, at 1905 Piedmont Rd. There, they found a man who had been shot once in the chest near his shoulder.

The man, who police were not publicly identifying on Tuesday, said he worked as a bouncer at the club and that he was breaking up a fight when he was shot. Due to the confusion during the fight, he and others weren't able to tell who fired the shot, police said.

The bouncer was taken to Grady Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition. There had been no arrests in the case early Tuesday afternoon and a police spokeswoman said investigators were continuing to pursue leads.
