Nearly two-thirds of Americans expressed support for stricter gun laws, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll released July 23. (AP/-)
A heated argument over presidential politics turned violent at a bar in Cleveland, leaving one man with a gunshot wound to the leg.
Cleveland.com reports the shooting at Winston's Bar came after two men — both bar regulars — started talking about the upcoming presidential election on the back patio. It's unclear which candidates the men supported. The conversation soon escalated into a shouting match.
Police say the 45-year-old suspect left the bar, came back and opened fire, striking the 60-year-old man once in the leg.
The website reports the victim remained hospitalized Tuesday. His condition was unknown.
Police say the shooter ran out of the bar and fled in a truck. He has not been formally charged and is not in custody.
