DUNN, N.C. (WTVD) -- A Dunn bar has had its alcohol permits suspended following a deadly shooting last weekend.
Authorities responded Sunday morning to reports of multiple gunshot victims at 601 Bar on N. Fayetteville Avenue. The incident left two people dead and two others injured.
Following an investigation by the North Carolina Alcohol Law Enforcement Division (ALE), the North Carolina Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission summarily suspended 601 Bar's ABC permits after what officials described as multiple acts of violence, including Sunday's shooting.
"While suspended, the business is prohibited from selling or serving any alcoholic beverages. We are hopeful this action will prevent future violence at this location and make this community safer," said Bryan House, director of ALE.
According to a news release, 601 Bar has a history of assaults and numerous calls for service, including fights, disturbances, controlled substance violations and ABC violations occurring on or around the licensed premises.
