DISPATCH ADVISED THAT AN UNKNOWN WHITE MALE WEARING A TAMPA BAY DEVIL RAYS JERSEY HAD ENTERED TWO GUYS FROM ITALY AND HAD USED THE SHOTGUN IN THE ESTABLISHMENT. DISPATCH FURTHER ADVISED THAT THE UNKNOWN WHITE MALE WAS WALKING BACK TO HIS VEHICLE, WHICH WAS A RED OLDSMOBILE PARKED IN THE FRONT PARKING LOT. AT 2246 HOURS, I ARRIVED ON SCENE ALONG WITH MULTIPLE UNITS AND OBSERVED THE UNKNOWN WHITE MALE/DEFENDANT, MR KEVIN RENAUD, TO BE WEARING A TAMPA BAY DEVIL RAYS JERSEY AND SEATED ON THE BENCH AT THE FRONT OF THE ESTABLISHMENT. AT THAT TIME LIEUTENANT VITT GAVE THE DEFENDANT VERBAL COMMANDS TO PLACE HIS HANDS ON TOP OF HIS HEAD, TO WHICH HE COMPLIED. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN PLACED IN HANDCUFFS AND SECURED IN THE FRONT OF A PATROL VEHICLE. SERGEANT KELLY THEN ASKED THE DEFENDANT FOR WHAT REASON WAS LAW ENFORCEMENT CALLED TO THE ESTABLISHMENT, TO WHICH THE DEFENDANT STATED HE WAS "ACTING STUPIDLY" AND THAT HE HAD RETRIEVED AN UNLOADED SHOTGUN FROM HIS VEHICLE AND ENTERED TWO GUYS FROM ITALY, RACKING THE UNLOADED SHOTGUN TWICE IN FRONT OF MULTIPLE PEOPLE. THE DEFENDANT STATED THAT HE IS HAVING NUMEROUS FINANCIAL PROBLEMS AND HAS BEEN MAD AT THE WORLD AND WANTED TO VENT HIS FRUSTRATIONS. AFTER RACKING THE SHOTGUN THE DEFENDANT DID COME BACK TO HIS VEHICLE AND SET OFF A FIREWORK. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH VICTIM ONE, WHO STATED THAT HE WAS INSIDE THE ESTABLISHMENT WHEN HE OBSERVED AN UNKNOWN WHITE MALE ENTER THE ESTABLISHMENT AND PULL A SHOTGUN OUT. THE STATED THE WHITE MALE/DEFENDANT THEN "CHAMBERED" THE SHOTGUN TWICE. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, HE OBSERVED THE WHITE MALE TURN AROUND, AND THEN WALKED TOWARDS THE FRONT DOOR OF THE ESTABLISHMENT. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH VICTIM TWO ANOTHER PATRON OF THE ESTABLISHMENT. HE ADVISED THAT HE WAS INSIDE TWO GUYS FROM ITALY WHEN AN UNKNOWN WHITE MALE APPROACHED THE BAR AREA AND PUMPED THE SHOTGUN TWICE, AND THEN WALKED OUT THE FRONT DOOR. I MADE CONTACT WITH VICTIM THREE, WHO WAS YET ANOTHER PATRON OF THE ESTABLISHMENT. SHE STATED THAT SHE HAD OBSERVED AN UNKNOWN WHITE MALE RACK A SHOTGUN AND AT THAT TIME, HER FATHER PUSHED HER UNDER THE TABLE AND SHE STAYED IN SUCH AREA AND DID NOT WITNESS ANYTHING ELSE. I MADE CONTACT WITH VICTIM FOUR WHO ADVISED, THAT HE WAS A PATRON OF THE ESTABLISHMENT AND ADVISED THAT HE WAS PLAYING POOL WITH THE DEFENDANT FOR APPROXIMATELY AN HOUR. HE STATED THAT THE DEFENDANT THEN LEFT THE POOL AREA AND RETURNED A SHORT TIME LATER WITH THE SHOTGUN RACKING IT TWICE.

VICTIM FOUR ADVISED THE DEFENDANT STATED TO HIM "WATCH THIS", TO WHICH THE DEFENDANT SET OFF A MORTAR. AT THAT TIME VICTIM FOUR TOOK THE FIREWORK TUBE AND PLACED IT ON THE GROUND AND GRABBED THE DEFENDANT'S KEYS AND TURNED THEM OVER TO THE BAR. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH VICTIM FIVE, WHO IS ANOTHER PATRON OF THE ESTABLISHMENT. HE ADVISED HE WAS SITTING IN THE BAR AREA AND ALSO PLAYING POOL, WHEN HE OBSERVED AN UNKNOWN WHITE MALE APPROACH THE BAR AREA SITTING NEXT TO A LADY. UPON DOING SO, THE DEFENDANT DID GIVE HER A NUMBER AND AT THAT TIME THE DEFENDANT THEN GOT OUT OF HIS CHAIR, PULLED OUT A SHOTGUN COCKING IT TWICE, AND THEN LEFT THE ESTABLISHMENT. I MADE CONTACT WITH VICTIM SIX, WHO WAS SITTING AT THE BAR AND HEARD A DOUBLE CLICK NOISE FROM BEHIND HIM. VICTIM SIX STATED HE TURNED TO SEE WHAT IT WAS AND REALIZED THAT AN UNKNOWN MALE HAD A LONG BARRELED GUN AND WAS WALKING OUT. VICTIM SIX RESPONDED OUTSIDE WITH VICTIM FOUR GETTING THE DEFENDANT'S TAG NUMBER AND THEN TELLING THE BARTENDER TO NOTIFY THE POLICE. ALL VICTIMS WERE OUT FRONT OF THE ESTABLISHMENT UPON QUESTIONING, AND WERE IN SIGHT OF THE DEFENDANT WHO ALL RECOGNIZED HIM TO BE THE UNKNOWN WHITE MALE. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH A WITNESS WHO STATED THAT SHE WAS INSIDE THE BAR AREA WATCHING THE RAYS GAME WHEN THIS UNKNOWN WHITE MALE APPROACHED HER AND SAID "GOODBYE". AT THAT TIME SHE HEARD A CLICKING NOISE LIKE A GUN AND DID NOT THINK ANYTHING MUCH OF IT UNTIL EVERYONE STATED THAT THE DEFENDANT HAD A GUN. WITNESS ONE WAS ALSO OUT FRONT OF THE ESTABLISHMENT UPON QUESTIONING AND WITHIN SIGHT OF THE DEFENDANT, WHO RECOGNIZED HIM TO BE THE UNKNOWN WHITE MALE.
