SWAT officer shoots Florida bar owner during standoff
LONGWOOD, Fla. – Authorities say a SWAT officer shot and wounded the owner of a Florida bar during a standoff.
The Orlando Sentinel reports that Connolly’s Irish Pub owner Leonard Nolan was injured Monday afternoon.
Longwood police say officers responded to the bar after a 911 hang-up call. Officials say Nolan had barricaded himself inside with a gun and refused to come out.
Authorities say Nolan pointed his gun at officers, and a SWAT member fired through a window. Nolan was taken to a hospital for treatment.
The races of Nolan and the officer who shot him weren’t immediately reported.
