Police are investigating a double shooting at a Mount Vernon bar.Investigators say the shooting happened at around 1 a.m. Friday at The Bowling Den on Mount Vernon Avenue. Police say a male teen was shot in the leg and a man in his early 20s was shot in the buttocks. Both men were taken to the hospital and authorities say they are in stable condition.Authorities are investigating the incident and say no arrests have been made. Police say it's not likely the wounded men were shooting at each other since they were found sitting outside the bar in separate cars.
The bar was shut down in December after a police raid. According to police, there were 350 customers inside the bar at that time when the maximum capacity is 51 people. People who live near the bar say violence is a common problem there.
