"Bullets flew at a Queens sports bar early Saturday, killing a 34-year-old man despite the actions of his desperate brother, who tried to carry his mortally wounded sibling to the hospital, police said. The shooting inside the El Catracho sports bar in Hollis was the fourth bloody attack to take place at a city nightspot in a week. Denis Nunez was with his brother inside the bar on Jamaica Ave. near 184th Place when a fight broke out at around 1:45 a.m., cops said."
""I don't really know what happened because I was inside," Nunez's brother, who wished not to be named, told the Daily News. "He was outside already and somebody shoot him from inside the bar to outside." On Saturday, the surviving brother still had Nunez's blood on his shirt. His face was scratched and his arm was bandaged. "I tried to carry (him) to the hospital. That's why a lot of blood on me," he said."
"EMS rushed Nunez to Jamaica Hospital, but he could not be saved. The gunman ran off and was still being sought by authorities Saturday. Nunez and his brother are from Honduras. The two siblings lived together about 2 miles from the bar. "We were happy," he told the News as NYPD detectives showed up to escort him to a local precinct for further questioning. "I don't really know right now what's going on.""
