GREELEY, Colo. — The Greeley Police Department said a shooting at Wyler's Pub and Grill sent a woman to the hospital with serious injuries early Saturday morning.
Newt Wyler owns the bar, and said it was the general manager who was shot.
Greeley PD said officers responded to the bar around 2:26 a.m. Saturday. Wyler told 9NEWS the shooter came back to the bar after they closed for the night. The shooter shot through the front door, hitting an employee inside, Wyler said.
"Our two young women closing were clueless as to what was about to happen," Wyler said.
Police said officers found multiple shell casings on the ground and bullet holes in the business’ front door.
"They shot through the wall approximately 20 times and about 40 times through the door," Wyler said.
Police said the victim was hospitalized with life-threatening injuries, underwent surgery and is expected to survive.
"We have had many businesses and many patrons reach out and offer their love and support," Wyler said.
Police said the suspect in the shooting, 32-year-old Jimmy Cazares, was arrested after a standoff at a home on 25th Street Saturday.
On Sunday, Wyler said his focus moving forward is on his employees.
"The physical repairs are the easy part. It’s going to be the emotional stuff that we want to make sure that everyone is OK moving forward," Wyler said.
Wyler said he hopes to reopen the bar this week, but wants to make sure the employees feel comfortable when they do.
