Police shut down Lincoln Park bar after deadly shooting, alderman says

Police shuttered The Dime bar at 2263 N. Lincoln Ave. in Lincoln Park on Tuesday following a deadly shooting and fights over the weekend. Acting Superintendent Fred Waller issued the Summary Closure Order after sustained pressure from Alderman Timmy Knudsen. Knudsen stated his office advocated for the closure due to several years of safety incidents, describing the establishment as an ongoing public safety threat to the local community while investigations into the violence continue.
