The sheriff’s office says the suspect, Cantillano, had been at the bar earlier in the night for about an hour and a half. Authorities say he left for a bit, came back after the bar had already closed and then began shooting outside. 

It appeared to officials at least 20 shots were fired from two different guns. Some of the bullets went through the glass front doors, but no one inside was shot.

Everyone who was wounded was outside of the bar.
