SAGINAW, MI —

Police are investigating the city's latest shooting, outside Terry's Place near the Saginaw Police Department, and city officials are looking into the business to see if it relates to the incident.

Four people were injured, police have reported.

, and injured a

woman, 24, and three men, ages 23, 41 and 44, police said.

Terry Sangster was the former owner and died in 2012 after an accidental fall from the roof of the building. His former wife, Pamela Sangster, is now the owner. She said Terry's Place was open in the early morning of Sunday, Feb. 16.

She was not at the bar when the shooting happened but said she believes the people involved in the shooting were never inside the business.

There were about 100 people inside the bar on the night and early morning before the shooting happened, she said.

"No one knew anything about it," she said, adding that people inside the bar were shocked when they went outside and saw police officers.

"They (police) said it was by my business," she said. "It wasn't patrons from the business.

"I know nothing about it," she said.

The city inspections department will investigate to see if the business was operating legally, chief inspector John Stemple said. Stemple said Monday, Feb. 17, that he was gathering information about the shooting outside Terry's Place and checking into other aspects of the business.

"I'll look at everything, look at both sides of the story and see what the circumstances are," Stemple said.

City officials will talk to the fire marshal about the business and consider occupancy and zoning rules during the investigation, Stemple said. The city is looking into previous parking complaints related to the business.

Officials will check if the business is operating outside the rules set by the city and the state.

The inspections department will also ask police about history of calls to the location when deciding if any action would be taken, Stemple said.

Saginaw Police Department Detective Sgt. Reggie Williams said police are looking at calls in the past 12 months at or near the location, in sight of the front entrance of the Saginaw Police Department building at 612 Federal.

"They like to have whole picture, not just one night," Stemple said.

Stemple said he would like to meet with the owner of the business early next week after he speaks with Saginaw Police Chief Brian Lipe about possible action.

"I don't know what that is yet," Stemple said about the city's possible action.

Terry's Place operates under a Class C liquor license, which allows the business to serve liquor, beer and wine. A licensee with that type of license is prohibited from selling alcoholic beverages between the hours of 2 a.m. and 7 a.m. of any day, except January 1, and 2 a.m. and noon on Sundays, according to the State of Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs.
