BURLINGTON, Iowa — A Burlington man is in custody after a shooting outside a bar that left one man injured. 

Tyler Underwood, 33, was leaving Doc's Tavern at closing time when he then fired into a crowd, according to a Facebook post from the Burlington Police Department.

Police were sent to the scene at 1622 Aetna St. around 2 a.m. on July 23.
