Lt. Christopher Cook said it all began when [James] Jones walked into the bar, yelling and saying incoherent things. [Cesar] Perez, a manager, tried to calm him down before Jones shot Perez.
Then, a customer at the bar pulled out his handgun and shot and killed Jones. Police have confirmed the customer had a CHL and charges won’t be filed against him.
