Vicksburg police were continuing to look for a man witnesses said fired up to 10 shots from the balcony of a downtown bar Friday night.

Sgt. Sandra Williams this morning repeated an earlier report that the shots followed a fight between two men on the balcony of The Upper End, 1306 Washington St.

Neighbors along Washington Street said they heard about seven shots.

The victim had told police Saturday night who shot the gun around 10, and he declined to file charges over injuries sustained in the fight between the two.

Williams said no warrant had been issued for the suspect because police have failed to confirm his identity.

Larry Ray, one of the owners of the bar, said this morning that the fight began after the two left the bar.

He said he heard “about 10 shots,” but he was not sure that they were fired from the balcony. “I thought they were shooting fireworks,” he said.

Utica man charged after stolen gun found

A Utica man was in the Warren County Jail today charged with having a stolen gun after a deputy saw him in a fight in the parking lot of a convenience store Saturday night.

Willie Charles Barnes, 42, 2596 Belmont Road, was charged with possession of a stolen firearm, said Sheriff Martin Pace, and was expected to make his initial court appearance today.

Pace said the arrest came after Sgt. John Elfer saw Barnes and another man, who was not identified, in an argument in a parking lot at Mississippi 27 and U.S. 80. Elfer quelled the argument before finding the gun, which a computer check revealed had been stolen in 1999.

The sheriff’s department was working this morning with the Vicksburg Police Department, with which the stolen gun report was initially filed, in an attempt to determine where the weapon has been for 11 years.
