FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- A man has been hospitalized after a shooting at a hookah lounge in northeast Fresno early Monday morning.

It happened just after midnight in front of the ElBasha on Shaw and Blackstone.

Officers say a 26-year-old walked into a hospital with a gunshot wound to the lower body, claiming to have been shot at the location.

Police learned that a fight broke out and multiple shots were fired in the parking lot.

The man was taken to the hospital and is expected to survive.




Authorities also say the building was hit multiple times on the outside.

There were several people inside the business at the time of the shooting.

In 2019, a woman was shot at this same hookah lounge. Brittany Lopez was getting into the car with someone after a graduation party when a black Sedan pulled up and started shooting into the vehicle.
