City Hall ordered The Point nightclub on Milwaukee Avenu closed for six months, calling it a public safety threat after a pair of recent shootings.

Wicker Park nighclub "the Point" has been shut down by Chicago police after a second shooting in recent months.By all accounts, there was no sign of trouble when the man walked up to the bar at the Point in Wicker Park, ordered a drink, finished it and walked back out.Moments later, though, he fired 10 shots into the bar from across the street and wounded someone in the eye, according to the police.

The shooting happened around closing time on Feb. 6. A video from inside the bar shows the patron entering the Point around 4:50 a.m. with three other men. They get checked with a handheld metal detector, and their IDs are scanned. Soon after, the Chicago police served the bar with the shutdown order, which also cited a shooting on the same block last October that happened as an unruly crowd wandered along double-parked cars. Four people exchanged gunfire, leaving one dead and wounding four bystanders, authorities said.

Brian Porter, serving as an administrative law judge, did side in part with Lin, ruling that the shooting last October "cannot be attributed to the Point" since the block is "densely occupied with several bars.
