Twenty-one-year-old Mark Farney, a former UW football player, was taken to Harborview Medical Center early Friday morning after being shot in the chest while working as a doorman at Tommy's, a popular club on Northeast 47th Street and University Way Northeast.

The shooting immediately followed a fight that broke out right in front of the bar. According to The Stranger, the fight was caught on tape by a neighbor with a video camera.

Following the melee, police said, Tommy's bouncers denied entrance to two men attempting to re-enter the club.

One man became enraged, left for a brief time and returned with a gun around 1:50 a.m. He fired into the club, hitting Farney, a Bellevue native, in the chest. The shots did not hit anyone else in the club.

Farney was attended to by paramedics and rushed to the Harborview intensive care unit, where he underwent immediate emergency surgery. Police spokeswoman Renee Witt told The Seattle Times he is expected to survive.

Police arrested a suspect in the neighborhood shortly after the incident and recovered the gun. A friend of the suspect was also questioned and later released.

The suspect, Abdulkadir Abdow, is being held on attempted homicide assault. Police say bail has been set by the state at $500,000.
