Two arrests have been made in connection with a shooting outside a Temecula bar Sunday night that left a 28-year-old father dead and two other people fighting for their lives, officials say. The shooting happened after a possible argument broke out just before 11 p.m. in the 28600 block of Old Town Front Street outside a bar called The Bank, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department said. Investigators believe one of the suspects shot all three victims while standing in the outside patio of the bar, before leaving the area on foot with another suspect.
