Aria, 246 Tremont St., might have some explaining to do to city licensing officials after an all-out brawl shortly before the scheduled end of "Girls Gone Wild" night early this morning:

... The fight grew to about 20-35 people, as patrons started to swing champagne bottles striking people about the head and torso. Officers, at this time, were engaged with the crowd and trying to break up the various fights that had broken out.

While actively engaged with the crowd, officers heard one loud bang consistent with the sound of gunshots, followed by two to three more. An officers that was on a platform looked in the direction of the gunshots and observed the suspect standing about five feet away with his hands extended holding a black firearm randomly firing shots into the crowd. ...The suspect refused to heed officers' commands to drop the weapon as they attempted to remove the gun from his possession, and kept trying to reach for his waist.

After disarming the suspect, officers were now faced with an attack from the crowd who attempted to attack officers. Officers requested assistance from other units and alerted the dispatchers that officers were in trouble. Numerous units from around the city responded to the scene and after some time were able to secure the scene.

Initial tally: Damion Jamaal-Anthony Haley, 24, of Milton, charged with the shooting. Four injured people, including a state trooper, taken to the hospital. Haley already had six outstanding warrants, police say.
