An arrest warrant has been issued for Omega Walker, 21, of Springfield, on charges of attempted murder, assault and battery with a firearm, felony use of a firearm, carrying a firearm without a license, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, conspiracy, and discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a building.
Walker is currently in custody in Hampden County on unrelated charges and an arraignment date has not yet been scheduled.
Mary Carey, spokeswoman for the district attorney’s office, said that a single victim suffered non-fatal injuries in the incident, which took place inside Anthony’s club.
Carey said South Hadley Police and Massachusetts State Police detectives assigned to the Northwestern district attorney’s office are still investigating the incident, which occurred around 1:30 a.m. on Feb. 4 at Anthony’s. The club is located at 500 New Ludlow Road in South Hadley.
