Gunfire at a bar near the Colorado ski resort town of Vail killed one and injured two Saturday night, and a man was quickly arrested in connection with the shooting, police said.

 

A man who was being escorted out of Sandbar Sports Grill Bar pulled out a gun and shot someone in the arm, bar patron Nancy Lewis said.


Other witnesses told the Vail Daily newspaper that the man fired several shots, then re-entered the bar and fired several more shots. Police received an emergency call at around 7:30 p.m.


One of the injured victims has suffered significant injuries, Vail Police Chief Dwight Henninger said. The second person wasn't severely wounded, he said.


Police haven't released the names of the victims. The town of Vail has identified the shooting suspect as Richard Moreau, 63, of Vail. He's being held in the town's jail, authorities said.
