“It is well beyond time our national leaders pass common sense, real legislation that curbs easy access to firearms,” Prince said, according to ABC7 Chicago.
Prince also ordered the night club to temporarily close Sunday.
“We are taking steps to make our community safer and to hold businesses accountable for their actions. Today, I signed a letter ordering the temporary closure of Playo’s. We will thoroughly investigate the Saturday night incident and determine our next steps,” he said, according to the outlet.
In 2017, Playo’s Nightclub, then called D&G’s, had a shooting that left one person killed and others wounded, according to NBC Chicago.
