The Milwaukee Common Council voted unanimously on July 11 to suspend the license for Eve Lounge, 6222 W. Fond du Lac Ave., as a result of eight-item police report that included complaints of fighting, selling hookah without a tobacco license and — most notably — an on-site shooting that employees seem to have attempted to cover up, according to one alderman.
During an altercation, the contractor became angry, threatened to kill the staff member and attempted to kick down a door, at which point the staff member shot him in the leg.
According to the police report, officers were dispatched to the address for a shooting complaint. Upon arrival, they found staff cleaning and mopping the floors, and were told that no shooting had occurred. Video surveillance for the establishment was unplugged, which prevented officers from watching the footage.
This sounds like something you’d see on a TV show…
