GLEN BURNIE, MD – A fight inside Sidelines Sports Bar & Grill in Glen Burnie ended with one person shot. According to police, last night, just before midnight, an altercation took place inside the bar between two patrons.

During the fight, one of the men produced a folding knife and held it by his side.

“A witness separated the patrons, allowing one of them (the shooting suspect) to exit the bar. As the witness attempted to escort the shooting victim from the bar, the shooting suspect returned to the entrance of the bar with a black handgun and continued to argue,” police said. “The shooting suspect was able to re-enter the bar as the witness escorted the victim to his vehicle.”

The suspect fired several shots at the victim before fleeing in his vehicle.

“When officers arrived, both the victim and suspect were no longer on location. As officers were conducting their investigation at the bar, the victim arrived at an area hospital with a gunshot wound,” police said.
