Hammond gas stations could close during overnight hours

CHICAGO (CBS) -- The Hammond City Council is discussing a plan that would require all gas stations to shut down between midnight and 5:00 a.m.

Supporters, including the mayor, said it would help stop violent crime, but gas station owners CBS 2 spoke to said they get a lot of business during those hours.

The council will potentially vote on the ordinance next week.
