A man is accused of firing shots inside a North Texas sports bar during a Cowboys game because another patron reportedly looked at him funny.
North Richland Hills Bar Shooting
What’s new:
David Callum is now charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and carrying a weapon where prohibited.
North Richland Hills police said Callum “became agitated when he presumed another patron of the bar was looking at him while watching Sunday night’s game.”
The two got into an argument, then Callum allegedly pulled out a gun and fired off a round.
He saw a judge on Tuesday morning and is now being held in the Tarrant County jail.
The backstory:
The shooting happened just after 10 p.m. on Sunday inside the Thirsty Turtle bar on Rufe Snow Drive in North Richland Hills.
Police said a 53-year-old man became agitated before firing a gun inside the bar. Thankfully, no one was hit, and no one was hurt.
Several patrons restrained the suspect until officers arrived at the scene.
The Thirsty Turtle owner told FOX 4 the suspect was a bar regular.
