Early this morning, an incident at Harper's Pub located on Southeast Port St. Lucie Boulevard, led to a police investigation into gunfire in the area. As reported by TCPalm, at approximately 2:30 a.m., the Port St. Lucie Police responded to a call concerning a disturbance at the pub's parking lot.
Details emerged that a man, reportedly equipped with a handgun, discharged four rounds, causing no injuries. The involved parties, including three men and one woman, were detained by police, but no charges have been filed at this point. "All four people involved are currently being questioned," CBS12 News obtained from Sergeant Mesiti of the Port St. Lucie Police Department.
