A shot was fired outside Eddy's, formerly known as Poe's, at 1:30 a.m. Sunday morning.

A shot was fired outside of Eddy’s Tavern on the University Corner around 1:30 a.m. Sunday morning.

Charlottesville Police say at 1:34 a.m. officers came on the scene, where they found a large crowd in the street area and exiting the tavern.
