Thirty-seven-year-old Thomas Fronina took out a .380-caliber handgun to show another bar patron and "discharged a single round towards the floor," police said.

A 43-year-old woman was hit in the leg and taken to Reading Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, while a 45-year-old man was hit in the ankle with a bullet fragment, authorities said.
