A 26-year-old man was in serious condition after he was shot outside a Pueblo bar early Saturday morning, officials say.
Christopher Charles Cooper, 26, was struck once by a bullet outside the Caveman Main Event bar at 211 W. Northern Ave. at 12:26 a.m., said Sgt. Elias Manzanares, spokesman for the Pueblo police department.
Authorities were searching for Daniel Lee Barela, 21, for investigation of attempted homicide after Cooper identified him as the one who fired the shot, Manzanares said.
Cooper was speaking with a man outside the bar when the suspect fired the shot and fled in a white car, he said.
Cooper was transported to a Denver hospital because of the seriousness of his injuries, Manzanares said.
