Around 4 am Saturday morning more than 500 gather after the bars close. They come from all over town.
Somebody starts a fight, guns are drawn shots are fired. Five people end up in the hospital.
Gunfire erupts as police are clearing the lot bullets narrowly missing officers. Some 30 are fired in all, amazingly; those hit only have minor injuries.
