It sounds like something out of 'Gunsmoke,' but the shooting at the Long Branch Saloon was deadly for one patron today, News Radio 1200 WOAI reports.
Sheriff's deputies say a man was leaving the bar, which is located on Highway 87 in the town of Adkins, when he was approached by other patrons and an argument ensued.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene.
Its the third shooting in the county in four hours this morning.
A man was shot in the leg in a bungled robbery attempt at a northwest side, and a woman was found shot to death on Foster Rd. on the east side.
So far, no arrests in any of the shootings.
