Two arrests have been made in connection to a Lake Worth Beach bar shooting that killed two men and wounded two others.
23-year old Morey Pinard III is being named the shooter by Palm Beach County Sheriff's deputies and 19-year old Michael Vititoe is an alleged accomplice.
The shooting happened early Tuesday morning at Rock Irish Pub, resulting in four employees of the Old Key Lime House being shot.
The men who died are being identified as 33-year old Christopher Allen and 24-year old Stephen Stratis. Two others were sent to the hospital, one of them in critical condition.
The Sheriff's Office says the shooting resulted from a physical altercation that began after the suspects bumped into a photographer and knocked the camera out of his hand. That man, a witness for the Sheriff's Office, says that when he asked if they were okay, he was asked "You got a problem?"
That led to an argument, and the suspects asked the witness to step aside, according to the witness. The witness then went to inform his uncle about the situation and they were walking to the front of the bar when Vititoe punched him in the face. That's when the witness claims Pinard pulled out a gun and started shooting.
Both suspects were in court this morning. Pinard is charged with two counts of second degree murder and two counts of attempted murder. He is being held without bond. Vititoe is charged with simple batter and accessory after the fact in a homicide. He was granted a bond of $15,000 by the judge.
