Anchorage police arrested one in connection with the violent altercation involving a firearm at a popular nightclub on Fourth Avenue that occurred during the early morning hours on Saturday.

APD responded to a report of a shooting at the Gaslight Bar in downtown Anchorage at 1:17 am on Saturday morning to find that a male employee of the establishment had suffered gunshot injuries to the upper body. That victim was taken to a local hospital for treatment. His injuries were deemed serious.

The investigation at the scene revealed that a fight had broken out amongst a group of patrons and the suspect later identified as 27-year-old Reynaldo Armstead pulled out a handgun and began waving it around. The bouncer attempted to break up the fight and instead was shot.
