According to police, three employees of Molly’s Pub left the bar Sunday morning and approached a vehicle on Shippen Street in which an altercation was taking place. Police said there were two people in the vehicle and two females standing nearby.

Police said the bar employees — two of whom were armed — asked the people in the vehicle what was going on.

At that time, police said, Wright exited the vehicle with a handgun pointed at one of the armed bar employees. One of the employees fired at Wright, police said, and Wright fled east on Chestnut Street.

Almost simultaneously, according to the report, Maldonado also exited the vehicle and pointed a gun at one of the employees. The employee fired, striking Maldonado, who fled east on Chestnut and then north on Plum.

A gun believed to be Wright’s was recovered by police in the 300 block of East Walnut Street. The two Molly’s Pub employees voluntarily turned their guns over to police.

Following an investigation, Detective Tom Ginder charged Wright with simple assault, a misdemeanor, and two felony firearms violations. Maldonado has been charged with simple assault.

Sounds like a shooting between LTCF holders and a criminal element.

Can't be a true story.... the two LTCF holders were not charged by the police.

And LTCF holders would certainly have been more judicious in their marksmanship.

The security employees of this bar/restaurant OC, and there's a good number of them. I'm pretty confident it would have been the security personnel involved.

Goodness gracious.

Glad the good guys are OK. I'll stick with the English over here in Lehigh Valley, thanks!

Don't worry, I'm sure those felonies will be plead away for a guilty plea on the M2.

Might be illegals. They can only do so much with them...

It does not indicate he fired the weapon, but only pointed it at them. I believe that would usually be a Simple Assault.

Be safe (and keep it simple).

One hit his target and no mention of mag dumps or bystanders hit.
