JACKSONVILLE, N.C. A club in Jacksonville had its ABC license suspended after police responded to a November shooting. Reportedly, a single gun shot wound hospitalized two people: a woman with the bullet lodged in her leg, and a man who was treated as a suspect after officers initially located him by following a blood trail from the club.
Gaston DA warns troubled club
Gaston County District Attorney Locke Bell warned a Union Road restaurant and night club last month that it was in danger of being deemed a nuisance following a shooting that injured six people.
That warning is as far as Bell said he s gone on Wednesday with regard to Remedies Restaurant and Night Club. Remedies, at 1225 Union Road, was the site of a shooting and its chaotic aftermath on Nov. 12. Two Gastonia Police officers were injured in the gunfire, along with four other patrons.
Police later charged Alonzo Lewis Hamilton, 30, and Allen Slaughter, 29, both of Charlotte, each with six counts of felony assault with a deadly weapon in the incident.
