Providence Police met with The Board of Licenses on June 11th to ask the board to shut down El Secreto Bar & Grill after one person suffered a non-life threatening gunshot wound.
Police say a bouncer said he threw two men out of the bar for fighting and then shots were fired. They say the gunman fired the weapon intentionally.
Providence Police Major Lapatin requested the Board shut them down temporarily due to the belief of retaliation.
Officials are still searching for the shooter and the bar is closed until at least Sunday afternoon.
