Lincoln Park Restaurant Closed Until Court Hearing Following Gunfire, Fight

CHICAGO (CBS) -- A Lincoln Park restaurant has been closed until a court hearing following a fight and gunfire early Sunday morning.

A fight broke out inside Dinner and a Movie, at 2500 N. Ashland Ave. at Altgeld Street, around 1 a.m. Sunday].

Police said the fight then spilled outside, and a man got out of a gray Chrysler 300 and fired about 17 rounds toward the business. Three other people were in the vehicle.

A woman also sprayed Mace.

No one was injured.

A neighbor asked that we not share her identity, but she told us this is a very disturbing thing to happen in a neighborhood that she calls family-friendly.

"My older daughter came in and woke us up just after midnight, saying that she had heard shots in the alley or area close to the back of our house," the woman said. "She was very upset – heard people screaming, running away, was wondering what was happening."

No one is in custody as Area Three detectives investigate. Both the man who fired the shots and the woman who sprayed the Mace have not been seen since.

The business has been shut down by the Chicago Police Department until its court hearing.
