With an increase in downtown violence, businesses fear it will scare customers away. Just last night, an off-duty Cook County Sheriff's deputy working security in Millennium Park shot a man who had opened fire in the park.CBS 2's Shardaa Gray talked to businesses about the increase in violence.
That didn't stop bullets from flying Friday night. The incident ended along the Chicago Riverwalk, near several businesses. Chicago police say a 22-year-old man refused to be wanded at an entrance into Millennium Park on Monroe Street. "It really does suck to be down here and hear about all this going on, because it draws people away," said Lily Stein, manager of Beat Kitchen, located half a mile down the Chicago Riverwalk from the party boat."The violence definitely draws people away from down here, which really is hard, but I do emphasize the fact that we do have a large security presence down here and that is really helpful," Stein said.
