SW Side community calls for bar's closure after deadly shootout

A Southwest Side community is calling for the permanent closure of Halina's Pub on Archer Avenue in Garfield Ridge after a shooting Friday night left its security guard injured and a man dead.

"This was the first night they were opening, and for this to happen... we're not going to put up with it," Garfield Ridge Neighborhood Watch President Al Cacciottola.

Police said an argument between two men and a concealed-carry license holder led to a deadly shootout Friday night. All three men were shot. Chicago police said when they arrived on scene, a 27-year-old man was dead.

"Two offenders walked up on and parked behind a security guard... in short order, opened up fire," Ald. Matty Quinn said. "It turns out while the shooting was taking place out front, the City of Chicago enforcement agents were inside writing up citations. My next step, in collaboration with the Garfield Ridge Neighborhood Watch, is to shut down this building completely."

Those efforts will begin Tuesday night near 52nd and South Austin, during the Neighborhood Watch's monthly meeting.

As far as the shooting investigation goes, police said at this time no one has been arrested. The security guard was last listed in critical condition. The other man who survived the shooting was taken to the hospital in fair condition.
