Officers arrived at the intersection of Independence Avenue and Van Brunt Boulevard at 3:30 a.m. They witnessed a black man drop a gun and run. They ran him down and took him into custody.

In January, three men were stabbed outside of Gerry's. KCTV-5 says one man was stabbed 14 times.

Last March, the city suspended Gerry's liquor license for 10 days following a shooting.
