Pasco County deputies aren’t releasing much information about a fight that broke out early Friday morning at the Players’ Club bar in Hudson, but they are saying who won.
“Man takes shovel to gunfight and wins,” was the header on the email sent to media by agency spokesman Kevin Doll at 4:26 a.m. Friday.
Doll said the case is being investigated as an attempted homicide and robbery. It took place at the 18728 U.S. 19 bar sometime in the early morning hours before Doll’s email was sent.
Just how the altercation broke out remains unclear, but Doll said preliminary reports indicate a man in the bar’s parking lot fired several rounds into the victim’s truck. One of those shots struck the victim on the arm, he said.
At that point, the victim got out of his truck, armed himself with a shovel and “began to repeatedly beat the suspect,” Doll wrote.
That suspect, who hasn’t yet been identified by deputies, was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, Doll said. The condition of the victim, who also remains unidentified, hasn’t been released as of yet.
