Man Shoots Gun in Classics Bar & Grill to Break Up A Fight

Two women fighting leads to shots being fired.

The Hazelwood Police Department is looking for a man that tried to break up a fight by allegedly shooting a gun in the air. Hazelwood Police Sargent Patrick Schierbecker said the incident happened Sunday at 1:10 a.m. Schierbecker said the police responded to an incident where two women were fighting each other inside of Classics Bar & Grill when a man interceded, pulled out his gun and shot it in the air. "I guess that was his way of getting their attention," Schierbecker said. "He shot up into the ceiling." Remember you can like Hazelwood Patch on Facebook at www.facebook.com/HazelwoodPatch.

Classics Bar & Grill is a Hazelwood Neighborhood Favorite

This local eatery lives up to its name.

When I first pulled in the parking lot of Classics Bar & Grill, I wasn't expecting much.
