Bar security guard returns gunfire

A security guard at the Copacabana Bar, 751 Fillmore Ave., returned fire early Sunday after shots were fired at him, according to Ferry-Fillmore District officers.

Bobby D. Lee told police that several shots were fired at him at 3:45 a.m. and that "he saw a weapon pointed at him and flash from the muzzle." He fired three shots from his gun, for which he has a permit, and the man fled east on Broadway.

The shooter was described as a black male, about 23 years old, standing 5-feet-8 and weighing 130 pounds. He had a thin build and was wearing black pants and possibly a black hoody.
