Bar Shootout in Anchorage, Alaska: Exclusive Footage

keep an eye on these 2




Jul 24, 2025

During the early hours of July 20, 2025, a shootout occurred in Anchorage, Alaska outside the Gaslight Bar on 4th Avenue. The Gaslight is directly across the street from the Anchorage Police Department headquarters. The Alaska Landmine has obtained security footage of the wild event. We stitched it together to show a full chronology what happened. The footage shows two masked men with guns walking up to the bar, which they never entered. After a fight between two women, the two men get into an altercation with a security guard. One pulls out a pistol and begins firing. Another security guard, who was clearly aware something was about to go down, opened the trunk of his car and pulled out a riffle. He dropped the shooter as he was backing up. Soon after, Anchorage police arrive on scene amid the melee.

Lots of decent video footage I must admit.

So what had happened: The owner of the downtown Anchorage bar that saw a deadly shooting early Sunday says the man killed in the encounter had exchanged gunfire with security guards.John Pattee, owner of The Gaslight Lounge, released security footage of the shooting to reporters on Monday. In a lengthy interview, he described a chaotic night that left 23-year-old Leroy Manogiamanu dead and three people wounded.Anchorage police declined to answer questions about Pattee’s account, including whether Manogiamanu had opened fire before he was killed, saying they’re still investigating.‘My other staff guy shot him’According to Pattee, the events leading to the shooting began when two women arrived in a car that parked outside the Gaslight. They had previously been “86’d” from the bar, he said, due to fighting.“We know who they were, and they tried to enter the bar earlier, and we didn't – we denied them entry,” Pattee said.Soon afterward, surveillance video reviewed by Alaska Public Media shows a group of men – one of whom Pattee identified as Manogiamanu, based on the police report – walking past the bar eating food. Two of them later returned, wearing sweatshirts and masks. The man Pattee identified was also wearing a backpack on his chest.Pattee said guards at the Gaslight who saw the masked men radioed an internal warning, calling for backup.“They were alerted of, there's a potential happening,” he said. “So we moved resources, human resources, to the front of the bar and outside, and that's why we were ready.”The situation escalated at 2:50 a.m., when the video shows that two of the women from the car started to fight outside the bar. Security staff who approached them also spoke with the masked men, asking them to leave the area.The video shows one of the men raising a gun, prompting a guard to grab it. After a brief struggle the guard fell to the sidewalk, and the man opened fire on him.Pattee said the guard was shot seven times, and another guard was struck in his hand. A female patron inside the Gaslight was also grazed by a round, as the video showed the man with the gun backing eastward along the sidewalk, continuing to shoot.“As he's retreating while he's firing his gun, one of my other security staff – third guy, had gone to his car, which was also parked on the curb,” Pattee said. “He's an ex-military guy, pulled out his weapon. And as the shooter is firing his gun in the direction of where he came from, my other staff guy shot him, killed him.”The video showed the third guard retrieving a rifle from the car’s trunk, then firing on the shooter. He fell into a fenced planter outside the bar and laid still as police officers ran to the scene.The guard struck in the hand has been released from medical treatment, according to Pattee, with the other scheduled for release soon. The grazed woman inside the bar drove herself to a hospital, he said.Manogiamanu, the man who died, was a star football player at Bartlett High School and graduated in 2020. Pattee identified him as the man who started shooting first, though police had not confirmed that as of Tuesday.

Before this gets censored on youtube ..

 

[samplenhold]

Does anyone know the outcome? Did they both die? What about the second perp?

Anytime you see guys walking around masked like that, they are up to no good.

 

[samplenhold]

Posted the above just as you posted the outcome.

 

[looney2ns]

Lots of stupid going on on that sidewalk.
Hanging out with stupid people, in stupid places at stupid times of the day is not good from a self defense standpoint.

Someone should have handed the police officers some shovels. They could have buried the shooter where he fell and his homies could have placed fake flowers over him for a few months or so until they forgot about him anymore.

Half the people are wearing shorts and/or short sleeves and these dudes are bundled up like they're in Antarctica.....when will local lawmakers pass laws that prohibit face-covering in public like this? It's obviously a blatant attempt to disguise one's identity, no other acceptable reason. And why would you do that unless you're planning something that's not exactly on the "up and up"?

And if such laws are in fact passed, will local LEO enforce it?

Since we're mixing fact and fiction here let's pretend that right at the beginning of the video local LEO had stopped the 2 and were empowered, both legally and motivationally, to plainly state to them ".....you cannot cover your face like that in public. Remove it or be cited AND then you'll be escorted out of the area immediately OR you'll be subject to arrest, detainment and prosecution. Any questions?"

It quite possibly could have had a better outcome for several people.

By the way those 2 were walking and dressed I would think LEO would already have grounds to inquire with them ..
