Member Center:
Prattville, Al. (WSFA) -- A man who authorities say was trying to break up a fight Sunday night apparently felt threatened and pulled a gun.
The man, who has not been identified, fired his gun in the parking lot of a shopping center.
The shooting happened just outside the Pratt Pub Oyster Bar on Main Street.
According to officials, a man saw a couple arguing and tried to intervene.
However, the couple didn't appear to want his help.
The victim began approaching the man and, according to authorities, despite warnings that he had a gun, the victim did not stop. The man then opened fire.
The victim was taken to a Montgomery hospital.
The extent of his injuries are unclear at this time.
Authorities say the shooting appears to have been in self defense, so it's unlikely any charges will be filed.
So far, no names have been released.
