On Sunday, APD officers responded to a shooting at El Agasajo Restaurant located at 3319 West I-40.
The investigation revealed that 44-year-old Jesus Orozco Mejia was reported to be carrying a firearm and asked to leave the restaurant by staff. As Mejia was exiting through the front door, he pulled a firearm from his waistband and fired a round back into the restaurant. The round struck the ground, causing shrapnel to injure two customers. Both victims are in stable condition.
Mejia was arrested and booked into the Potter County Detention Center for two counts of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon, and one count each of Abandoning or Endangering a Child, and Tampering with or Fabricating Physical Evidence.
The investigation is ongoing.
