December 22nd, 2008 by Ana X. Ceron

Police are looking for the man who shot two teens in the leg on Saturday after a fight at a restaurant spilled outside, police said.

The fight took place inside the Denny’s on U.S. 1 and then continued outside to the parking lot, where two teens were standing at about 2:30 a.m., police said. Both were shot in the leg, police spokesman Sgt. Marty Jacobson said.

Management shut down the restaurant and called police when the shots were fired, police said.

Witnesses told officers a man had brandished a revolver and shot the two teens as they stood in the parking lot. He then fled north in a vehicle, police said.

One victim was treated at the scene and transported to the hospital, and the second victim had admitted himself to the hospital for a gunshot wound, police said.

Police are not releasing any other details on the incident, including whether the teens were involved in the fight, police spokesman Jacobson said.

Anyone with information about this shooting is asked to contact the Stuart Police Department at (772) 220-3906 or Treasure Coast Crime Stoppers at (800) 273-TIPS.
