Man shot multiple times Sunday morning, suspect at large

A man is in critical condition after being shot multiple times at Omar’s Bar, 1404 Broadway St., early  Sunday morning, Dec. 22, following a dispute with another individual. 

According to a statement from Port Lavaca Police Chief Colin Rangnow, officers responded to the incident at approximately 1:30 a.m. and found the victim wounded. Rangnow said that the suspect shot the victim multiple times before fleeing.
