WEST ALLIS - Closing time chaos outside a West Allis bar.

West Allis Police say it all started when a two men entered a Ford Explorer, and hit two parked cars in the 59-hundred block of West Burnham outside Danny's Lounge.  In the process, a man and woman who were standing by the parked cars were hit.  Those two people should be okay.

The Ford Explorer kept going and hit another car.  That's when someone down the road pulled out a gun and fired shots at the Explorer.  Police don't think anyone was injured from the shooting. 

The men in the Explorer and the man who fired the gun are now in custody. 

Milwaukee County Sheriffs were called in to help control the crowd.  After the investigation, West Allis Police will review the case with the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office for possible charges.
