Tiffany Morales, 37, of Wilmington, DE, was arrested and charged with several firearm-related offenses. Police say she fired multiple shots at a victim outside the bar early Sunday morning.
When troopers arrived, they found spent shell casings near the building. The victims told troopers that Morales was the person who fired the shots.

Investigators say Morales went to her car and got a handgun. She then pointed the gun at one of the victims and fired multiple shots.
No one was hurt. No property damage was reported either.
During the investigation, detectives found evidence of the crime inside Morales' vehicle. Police did not say what that evidence was.
Morales was taken to a local hospital for injuries that were not related to the shooting. Police say those injuries were not life-threatening.
Morales is charged with Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Felony, Aggravated Menacing, and two counts of Reckless Endangering First Degree. All of the charges are felonies.
She was arraigned by the Justice of the Peace Court. She was then committed to the Department of Correction on a $23,000 cash bond.
