The Stage Door on Flamingo Road has long been a quirky, lo-fi antidote to the madness of the Strip. On Wednesday, Porcha Shinault (inset) fired seven rounds into a crowd at the entrance.

Shinault lives in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
According to the arrest report, Shinault told police she had \u201cat least four drinks\u201d at the bar when a new group of people entered the establishment. She argued with the group after mistakenly believing one member of the party had spoken to her, Metro Police said.<\/strong><\/p>\nVideo surveillance from the bar shows one member of the group hitting Shinault with her handbag. Then others proceed to hit her in the head and face.<\/p>\n
According to court documents, she then told the group, \u201cI got something for ya,\u201d before heading to her car in the parking lot outside.<\/p>\n
Seven Rounds Fired<\/strong><\/h2>\nSecurity footage then shows Shinault \u201cmanipulating something in her hands\u201d inside the car before heading back towards the bar with a gun in her hand and \u201ca determined gait,\u201d according to court filings.<\/p>\n

At around 4 am, Shinault allegedly fired two rounds at members of the group who were standing at the entrance to the bar, and then five more rounds as the group scattered along Flamingo Rd.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\nShinault then walked towards her car and drove away, crashing into a car that had stopped at a red light. Shinault then drove off, fleeing the scene of the accident.<\/p>\n
Shinault then returned to the Stage Door parking lot shortly afterward and was arrested. During an interview, police said she continually claimed self-defense because the group had been \u201cbeating her.\u201d<\/p>\n
