No one was injured in a shots fired incident outside Tommy Nevin’s Pub early Saturday morning.

Evanston Police Department officers were called to the pub, 1454 Sherman Ave., just before 1 a.m. after receiving a report that someone had been shot. However, upon arriving, they were unable to find a gunshot victim and instead encountered a large group of people, Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan said.

Dugan said a fight broke out in the middle of the street in front of the pub as a group of people left a party. During the fight a gun was fired, but no one was struck, he said. Officers recovered a spent shell casing near the curb across the street from Nevin’s, Dugan said.

There were an estimated 20 people involved in the disturbance, Dugan said, but no one was taken into custody as a result of the incident.

A 28-year-old male received a cut on his finger as a result of the fight, Dugan added. The injury was not connected to the gunshot, and the Evanston resident refused medical attention.
