Not-so happy hour

Shooting suspects at large
Cops are looking for five men who fired 22 shots at an 18-year-old as he walked to the store in Vinegar Hill on April 11.
The 18-year-old man reported to police that he was on Bridge Street that evening when he noticed five men, not known to him, across the street. Three of the men then pulled out firearms and fired 22 shots in his direction.
