Mayor Warren Issues Emergency Order With New Ability for Police Chief

Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren has issued an Emergency Order that allows the police chief to close down bars -- and other commercial buildings -- where a shooting has occurred in the past 30 days.

The property would have to accrue 12 nuisance points under the city's laws over the past six months...or 18 nuisance points over the last year.

Warren says she's not doing this lightly but sees it as giving police another tool to ensure they can keep the city safe.

The order will remain in effect through December 12th.

The Black Bear Pub on West Ridge Road has been shut down. It was the scene of a deadly shooting last weekend.
