Two men were hospitalized early Sunday after police say a man shot them outside Bar America.

Officers responded about 1 a.m. to the intersection of South Alamo and Presa streets where an alleged drunk man, who had been thrown out of the popular urbanite bar, had begun fighting with people, according to San Antonio police.

Officers said the man was thrown out the bar for being drunk and fighting with customers. Once ejected he continued fighting with people outside, authorities say.

At one point the suspect walked to his vehicle, grabbed a gun and fired twice at two victims. One man was shot in the hand and the other male victim was hit in his leg, officers said.

Police are investigating whether the victims, who are in their mid-20s, were fighting with the suspect or were just bystanders.

One victim was sent to University Hospital and the other was transported to Brooke Army Medical Center. Both are in stable condition.

The suspect was last seen running from the bar.
