Former bouncer Geoff Summers was sent to hospital with life-threatening injuries and spent two months in hospital after he was shot during the incident.

Summers spoke to Global News earlier this year and said the bullet went through his arm, then hit an artery underneath his collarbone.

Summers was working at Alibi Ultra Lounge when he said two groups inside the bar were arguing, so he and another bouncer told the group of five to leave.

Once outside, Summers said he fought with one of the group members. That’s when two men went to a car and brought back a gun, he said in February.

Summers went back inside the bar and attempted to hold the door closed when he said at least for shots rang out. He said the second bullet hit him in his right arm, then ricocheted through his chest.

An off-duty nurse and doctor helped keep Summers alive. He lost 19 units of blood.
