Police were initially called to the scene at 530 Pembroke Road after 2 a.m. Saturday for a report that shots had been fired there. But when police arrived, they could find no one hurt and the people at the bar refused to talk to police, according to the police media report.

About an hour later, Rhone arrived at St. Luke’s Hospital in Fountain Hill with the leg wound. It was later determined that Rhone suffered his injury at the 530 Grille, police said.
