Glen Burnie Bar Fight Leads To Shooting, Hospitalization: Police

GLEN BURNIE, MD — A male was shot and hospitalized Wednesday after a Glen Burnie bar fight, county police said.

Officers did not mention the condition of the victim. Authorities said they are still looking for the suspect, who drove away.

Police said they heard about the fight at Sidelines Sports Bar & Grill, located at 105 Chesapeake Center Court, just before midnight.

Officers said the physical scuffle involved two bar patrons: the eventual shooting victim and the eventual shooting suspect.

The eventual shooting victim took out a folding knife during the fight and held it by his side, authorities said. A witness separated the two customers fighting, letting the eventual shooting suspect leave the bar.

Police said the witness tried to escort the eventual shooting victim out of the bar, but the suspect returned to the business's entrance with a black handgun and continued to argue.

The suspect re-entered the bar as the witness led the eventual victim to his vehicle. Officers said the suspect left the bar again while the victim was at his vehicle, continued arguing and holding the handgun.

The suspect then fired several shots toward the victim before the victim could drive away, authorities said.

Police said the suspect fled in a white Toyota Camry sedan. The suspect and the victim were both gone by the time officers responded.

Authorities said the victim arrived at an unidentified hospital with a gunshot wound while they continued to investigate at the bar.

The Anne Arundel County Police Department is still investigating. Detectives asked anybody with information to call (410) 222-6135. Tipsters can stay anonymous by dialing (410) 222-4700.
