PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Now that there has been a second shooting outside Dubai, a Washington Park lounge, city officials want Dubai's liquor license suspended for three days.
If the proprietors are willing to accept that penalty, proposed by the city Law Department, or are able to persuade the department to seek a lesser sanction, then a police complaint against Dubai will have been settled.
If not, the complaint will have to be contested before the city Board of Licenses.
The shooting -- the second in 2012 -- occurred Dec. 8. The police found a large crowd gathered in the parking lot around Carlos Dias, 25, of 182 Magill St., Pawtucket, who was lying down with a gunshot wound in his right thigh. He survived.
