(CNN)Police are searching for a shooter who opened fire after he was denied entry into a bar in San Antonio, wounding eight people, authorities said.
The five women and three men injured are ages 23 to 41, and are in stable condition, said San Antonio Police Chief William McManus. There were no fatalities.
The Friday night incident started when a group that included the shooter was denied entry into a bar because they were intoxicated, the police chief said.
The shooter said, "'don't you know who I am? I'm a UFC fighter from California,'" according to McManus. He said the suspect went back to his car, grabbed "a long rifle" then walked back across the street and opened fire outside the bar.

(10,011 posts)Had he not had quick access to a gun in his car, eight people would not have been shot. Fortunately, no one was killed, but that could easily have not been the case. Guns just support violence, of which we have more than enough. After traveling in many other countries, I consider the US one of the most violent nations in the world, especially in the developed world. We should all be asking why we are so violent and what we need to do to change it.

And many places people consider idyllic are way worse, like Jamaica, the Bahamas, Bermuda, etc.

It's a mixed martial arts fighting competition. The one where they fight in "the octagon"
