At least a dozen shots were heard when a fight turned into a shooting outside a Chula Vista bar early Friday.
Chula Vista Police (CVPD) were called to Rica’s Bar on Broadway at J Streets at 1:54 a.m. after a fight spilled out into the parking lot.
A group of ten people were fighting outside of the bar when one witness says he heard the initial round of gunshots.
Richard Flahive said he saw several cars pull off in different directions and then heard another round of shots down J Street.
"I’m just hoping nobody got hit. There’s people living right here," Flahive said pointing behind him. "Stray bullet could’ve gone and hit a kid or something, you know, that’s not right."
Shortly after, police officers found a car traveling northbound on Broadway without its lights on.
Officers pulled over the car near B Avenue in National City.
