3 shot inside West Philly bar

POSTED: Sunday, December 30, 2012, 11:44 AM

Three men were shot inside a West Philadelphia bar early this morning following a large fight, police said.

Around 3:09 a.m., officers responded to the Gold Coast Lounge on Lancaster Avenue near Wallace Street and found three male victims, ages 18, 19 and 20, each of whom had been shot once in the leg.

The men were transported to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, where they were all listed in stable condition.

According to police, the shooting followed a fight inside the bar that began on the second floor and "spilled down" to the first.

No arrests have been made.

    Guns in the news yet again...for all the wrong reasons.

    Cedric the Entertainer made a joke about how kids settled disputes back in the day...but I wish it was true. Kids used to battle by breakdancing...bring that back.

    Doesn't say they were drinking. Perhaps they were there for the food, and doesn't mention the age of the shooter. She may legally own the gun. Stay tuned for details.

    Only wounded? It's no wonder we can't catch Chicago in murders. They're better shooters.

    They need to post that bar as a Gun Free zone. That will stop the criminals.

    Yes, I agree Tony. These youngsters were there at 3 AM for the famous quiche served there. And the shooter was a 43 yr old woman who had a gun cleaning accident. Excellent insight!

    The argument was about who was the biggest obama fan: "I am the biggest fan - no I am the biggest fan - bang, bang, bang!!! Obama forward!

    I'm surprised no one dragged these under-aged victims outside. Now that fine establishment is going to close for good. Jive turkey.

    The plan is simple. If we take all guns from the law-abiding, then the criminals won't be able to steal replacements after their vast collections eventually wears out. Then, back to fists and kicks, and the biggest guy wins, as in days of old.
