Two men killed in bar shootout



Two men died and three people were injured early today in a shootout at McShane's lounge on the Near-Eastside, Indianapolis Police said.



Dead are Vernon Shane Goodpastor, 32, and David Lightle, 48, both of Indianapolis.



Injured were Michelle Stewart, 46; Marion Watkins, 48; and Chad Hahn, 27. All three live in Indianapolis and were taken to Wishard Memorial Hospital where they were listed in good condition, police said.



Stewart was shot in the hip, Watkins in the foot, and Hahn in the arm.



According to police, an argument broke out between Goodpastor and Lightle. The disagreement escalated and Goodpastor pulled a weapon and shot Lightle.



At that point, bar patron Randy Howey of Avon, pulled a handgun and shot Goodpastor.



Howey had a permit for the weapon he used and was not arrested, police said.
