The search has ended for the man who allegedly shot two people at a bar in Marion.

Leif Lee was arrested on June 18, the day after he was charged with assault with a weapon and criminal endangerment following a shooting at a Marion bar last weekend. Authorities initially said one person was shot in the altercation, but now court documents show another person was hit.

According to prosecutors, Lee got into an altercation with a woman in the parking lot of the Rail Line Tavern around 2 a.m. on June 14 and allegedly pulled a gun and fired it twice, hitting the woman in the arm. Another man who was trying to intervene was also struck. Neither person had life threatening injuries, but the woman was later transported to a Seattle hospital for surgery.

If convicted, Lee could face up to 30 years in prison. Lee is expected to appear in court for his arraignment on July 2.
