An ordinance introduced by Councilman Starr Wednesday would require late night bars and stores to hire an armed security guard.
CLEVELAND, Ohio - A mass shooting in Cleveland’s Warehouse District last weekend that sent nine people to the hospital was a devastating wake-up call to many in the city that the gun violence is out of control.
“We have to take every action and every measure that exists to figure out a solution right now,” Starr said. If the ordinance passes it would require any bar, restaurant, store, or gas station operating between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. to have at least one-armed security guard. “It’s super unfortunate being like a small business down here in the Warehouse District and it feels like a nice place to work but when you hear about the recent crime that’s been happening just a few short blocks from us it’s pretty concerning,” said Kowalski.
19 News spoke with several other bars off camera who agree the ordinance goes too far saying hiring one armed security officer can cost between $50 to $70 an hour.
