A Tarrant man was arrested early Sunday after a shooting at a Fultondale sports bar.
Detective David Smith said Timothy Hunter Grant, 23, was arrested on felony assault charges between 2 and 3 a.m. at The Drop Zone, located in the 2400 block of Decatur Highway.
Grant allegedly shot another bar patron in the leg during what Smith called “a typical barroom fight.” The wounded man was reportedly treated and released from UAB Hospital.
Smith said the police department had received other calls to the establishment, but nothing weapons-related.
“We do have the shooter and we do have the gun,” Smith said. “Hopefully this will send a clear signal that this will not be tolerated.”
