Customers, including Murphy, began exiting. Murphy, Rosenwasser said, went to the car he drove that night and retrieved what appeared to be a semi-automatic pistol, clearly visible tucked into his waistband as he reentered the business. Rosenwasser said Murphy pulled the gun and said he was going to air the place out. A bouncer pushed him out the front door, Rosenwasser said, at which point Murphy fired the gun at Napoleoni from a distance of two to five feet, striking him once, as other patrons stood close by.
