according to another newscast i saw on this story, the guy was actually a bouncer at the co-op who was trying to bounce some people out after starting a fight and a girl hit him on the back of the head with a bottle--while he was describing the incident to the cops he collapsed.
this is extremely frightening especially knowing many friends who work places downtown (ie emo's, ect) its hard to imagine that just doing your job could get you killed.
