A 27-year-old woman was injured by flying glass and a man in his 30s was rushed to hospital in critical condition with multiple gunshot wounds.
Police now say two groups had gotten into a fight in the bar before the gunfire erupted.
Police announced two arrests in the case in a press release Tuesday.
One of the suspects is also facing drug charges after police allege he threw a bag of cocaine out a second-storey window — before jumping out himself — when officers came to make an arrest at a home in the South Pointe neighbourhood on Sept. 25.
