BARTOW - Gunshots erupted outside a barroom early this morning and two men were hospitalized with wounds that were not considered life threatening.
Late this morning, Polk County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Carrie Eleazer said detectives were investigating and at least one arrest warrant was being sought to charge one of the wounded men.
"We're still working it," she said.
No names were released.
The altercation began inside Paradise Club in Gordonville, a neighborhood in Bartow. The fight moved outside, and that's where the shooting occurred, Eleazer said.
"We've got the suspect in the hospital," she said.
Someone who lives less than 200 yards away -- and declined to give his name -- said he heard the shots early this morning.
"It started off with about six large-caliber shots, and right afterward, four or five smaller caliber," the man said.
He said he called 911.
