PEORIA, AZ (AZFamily) — A man who reportedly fired shots into a Peoria sports bar after he was kicked out late Tuesday night is dead following a shootout with two other armed men.Peoria Police have identified the man as 46-year-old Mario Franco of El Mirage.
Investigators say the incident began just before midnight at the Deli Sports Bar near the Loop 101 Agua Fria Freeway and Peoria Avenue. There, an employee called 911 to request that police help with an intoxicated patron, Franco, who refused several requests to leave.
While officers were en route, police say Franco went to the parking lot, grabbed a handgun from inside his car and started firing shots in the air and into the bar. Dispatchers then received another call that someone in the bar had been shot in the leg by someone in the parking lot.
Two men on a nearby park bench saw what was happening and intervened. Police say Franco then pointed his weapon at the two men, who were also armed, and a gunfight ensued.
Franco was shot in the chest, while the two other men weren’t hurt.
Peoria Police Officer Kristopher Babros said that when officers arrived, the two men were still pointing their handguns toward Franco, who was inside the passenger side of his BMW sedan. Both men cooperated with police and were briefly detained.
Franco was pronounced dead at the scene.
The person inside the bar who was shot in the leg has since been treated and released from the hospital. Babros commended the men who intervened before any other innocent people were hurt.
Peoria PD said there is no further threat to the community.

No further threat because Mr. Franco has achieved room temperature? Thanks, Gun Bunny.
Who can protest and does not, is an accomplice in the act.

Reason # 669 why one should carry, concealed, every.where.you.go! Last call for Mr. Franco.
“Me thinks that thou protest too much.”
One can use a Savage to control a Savage…just not one of the models depicted.
Bit of a FGS for the haters of all things Gun Bunny. The King of Battle…THE King of FIRST has a Chancre Mechanic appointment this mid morning, followed by a much needed provision run. Ergo…He may and/or may not be on the net around the time frame that the TAH Friday Weekend Open Thread drops. Here’s you sign….
Good luck KoB
Bad enough to end up drunk or hungover but it can’t be a good start for eternity in Hell.
“Unruly patron….”
That’s an apt description of the dispatched deceased drunk.
He is ruly now.
That’s the nice way of saying “Drunk asshole”.
