CLEVELAND (WJW) — Three men were shot at a restaurant on Cleveland’s east side late Saturday afternoon, the Cleveland Division of Police confirmed.

Police were called to the 12300 block of St. Clair Avenue around 4:50 p.m. for reports of a shooting at Omar’s Seafood & Grille.

Upon arrival, police found a man being held on the ground outside of the restaurant by a bystander, according to a report. The man on the ground was identified as the shooter, police stated in the report.

The altercation reportedly started with the suspect arrived at the restaurant asking for a refund for food purchased the day prior. He first spoke with son of the owner, who said he would not offer a refund, telling him to leave. The owner came out and told the man he could get new food, but no refund. The man was once again told to leave, and the owner “guided” the man out to the lobby before “roughing him up” near the door.

According to store film footage, the suspect was then seen hitting the owner. That’s when the owner’s sons came out to the lobby and they reportedly began to beat up the man. This led the man to eventually shoot the owner and his sons, police said.

The three victims, ages 23-52, were taken to the hospital after all appeared to be shot in the abdomen (and elsewhere), police reported.

The victims’ conditions have not been released. The man suspected of shooting the other three was also taken to the hospital for his injuries and was apprehended at the scene. The gun was also found at the scene, police said.
