On Saturday, March 26, 2022, Fort Walton Beach Police Officers were dispatched to a call for shots fired at Coasters in downtown Fort Walton Beach.

According to the Fort Walton Beach Police Department, the alleged shooter was asked to leave the establishment by security and proceeded to get into argument with the victim outside of the bar.

The victim returned to play pool and the alleged shooter re-entered the business. He then got the attention of the victim and drew a firearm from his waist.

  • He discharged the firearm and one round penetrated the victim’s shoulder.

“Security immediately disarmed the suspect and subdued him until officers arrived,” wrote the FWBPD. “He was charged with Attempted Felony Murder and Possession of a weapon by a convicted felon.”

Following the shooting, Coasters announced changes to their hours of operation. Coasters, and The Bevador room, will be closing nightly at 2am effective immediately.

“The situation that transpired last night was an unfortunate and isolated incident,” wrote Coasters. “Fortunately, our staff rose to the occasion and quickly diffused the situation. Coasters and The Bevador Room will continue to be the place for great drinks, live music and good times. We will not let one bad bean ruin the batch. Thank you all and hope to see you soon.”
