Akron Police found two men shot when they arrived at an adult entertainment club on Old South Main Street early this morning–one of them dead, the other still alive, and taken to the hospital for treatment, where his condition is currently unknown.

They say it happened a little before 2:30 AM at Ole Glory Daze, 998 Old South Main Street, where a 31 year old man, identified as Vernall Robinson lV, approached a 44 year old man in the parking lot, and shot him multiple times.

Then, the injured man ran back inside the bar before collapsing, and Robinson old followed him inside, where police say he was seen reaching toward his pockets.

That’s when the wounded man pulled out his own gun, and fatally shot him. Robinson was pronounced dead on the scene, and the 44 year old man is being treated now for his injuries at Cleveland Clinic-Akron General.

**This story has been updated to include the name of man who was fatally shot.
