The shooting happened around 2:20 a.m. Sunday following a large fight outside of Zar Nightclub on South Main Street.
Akron police say their officers responded to the large fight when they observed two men threatening other patrons and officers with a firearm.
That’s when an officer fired shots at the suspects. Police say shots were also fired at the officers.
