Gunman opens fire at Lexington bar, drives away

A person fired shots at a Lexington bar Monday night, police said.

A driver pulled his vehicle into a parking lot about 9:40 p.m. and began shooting at The Chill Spot on Lima Drive off Georgetown Street, according to police. The bar is just inside of New Circle Road.

Several patrons were inside, but no one was hurt, police said. One vehicle was also struck.

Witnesses were unable to give police a description of the shooter or the car, police said.

Monday’s shooting follows one that occurred Sunday less than a mile away, when a man was shot while in his car off Lindberg Drive and Georgetown Street.
