On Sunday, February 16^th, 2014 at 1:37 AM Duluth Police were called to the Twin’s Bar at 501 East 4^th Street for several people fighting outside and that a black male wearing a red jacket had a firearm sticking out of his pants. While squads are responding the call was updated that shots were fired.

Initial investigation revealed that a 73 year old male armed private security guard was working for the Twin’s Bar and saw a fight just outside of the bar. As he approached he saw several other people near two people fighting and noticed another male standing on the sidewalk with a gun in his hand. The guard shouted at the suspect to put the gun down; the suspect instead pointed it at him and the guard fired one round. The suspect ran north on 5^th Avenue East and stopped and turned around towards the guard and again raised the gun and pointed it at him, the guard fired a second round and the suspect ran off.

The guard was unsure if he hit the suspect with either shot, no evidence was found at the scene to indicate the suspect was hit.

If anyone has information about this incident they are asked to call 911. This is an active investigation and no further information is available at this time.
