Toledo police released surveillance video from a wild west-type gun fight in a local bar in hopes of identifying the gunmen captured on camera.
The wild shootout involving at least five shooters sent patrons fleeing from the northwestern Ohio bar near the University of Toledo campus.
No serious injuries were reported.
The gunfire inside and outside the Route 66 Kitchen in Toledo lasted for several minutes Thursday, Oct. 8 around 11p.m.
Footage from the three-minute video shows a fight break out at the crowded bar. The incident then turns into a shootout, with men pulling out guns and firing at individuals beyond the range of cameras. Video from the outside of the bar shows a man firing a gun inside the establishment through a door.
Seventeen shell casings were found on the ground or floor at the bar, and the front door was riddled with bullet holes.
The fight apparently began when a bar employee asked a man who was trying to sell marijuana to leave, Deputy Police Chief Don Kenney told the Toledo Blade.
Police were still looking for suspects Sunday and no arrests have been made. Police say they don't believe any University of Toledo students were involved in the shooting near the campus.
