A protest of police action is underway after a weekend shooting outside a Wichita club.

James Ware was shot several times by police and remains in serious condition at Wesley Medical Center.

Protesters, including friends of Ware and witnesses of the shooting, say they only want justice for Jay.

The shooting happened early Sunday morning outside Max's Club at Harry and Rock Road.

Police were called to break up a fight in the parking lot. Officers say 34-year-old Jay Ware pulled a gun and pointed it at them. Three different officers fired, all hitting Ware.

Witnesses say Ware was unarmed and shot in the back.

Police did confiscate a weapon from the scene.

The KBI is still investigating the case to determine if the shooting was justified.
