Legends Shooting:

The story goes as follows....

A couple of kids (late teens, early 20's) were riding their bikes back and forth in front of Legends repeatedly during the afternoon. A regular customer took note of the behavior - and when they entered the bar and proceeded to the restroom - he told the bartender (Chantal) of the suspicious behavior. She asked him to go in to see if they were doing drugs. As he entered the bathroom - he saw in the reflection off the mirror that they were pulling on masks - so he came out and told Chantal they were about to get robbed and to call 911.

A plain clothed, on duty officer was eating at a table about 15-20 feet away from the mens room door. Upon hearing the report from the regular - he pulled out his piece and assumed a ready position. The would be robbers exited the restroom and shouted "give it up". At this point things turned ugly for the robbers.

The officer shouted for them to drop their weapons. They turned (probably surprised as hell) to point their weapons at the officer - who promptly squeezed one off that shattered the gun out of one of the robbers hands. For good measure - the cop squeezed off one more into and out of the same robbers face.

At this point - both suspects ran - one bleeding all over the bar, parking lot, and Jeremy's car. The rode their bikes to their get away car behind Legends near Delmonicos deli on Fillmore and Summer. They drove home and reported an attempted robbery and shooting at their apartment - but when he was taken to the hospital he was identified as the suspect from the Legends incident. The uninjured person is still at large - but apparently identified.

Police found a shotgun stashed on the train tracks behind Legends as well. Probably not how these two had planned things.....
