Bug N Out Lounge liquor license to be suspended following fatal shooting of 12-year-old

WEST ALLIS, Wis. (CBS 58) -- A West Allis bar owner's liquor license would be suspended for three months under an agreement reached during a Public Safety Committee meeting Tuesday night.

This comes after the fatal shooting of a 12-year-old boy during a birthday party Feb. 25.

Ronnel Smith was killed, and another child was injured, after a shooting occurred in the upstairs bar at Bug N Out Lounge.

A father and daughter rented the space for a 17-year-old's birthday party and more than 100 kids showed up. Police allege at least six of those in attendance had guns on them, per a security video. 

Owner Amy Thompson's liquor license requires the bar provide security on weekend nights, but only Thompson and a bartender were working downstairs that evening.

The West Allis Police Department alleges Thompson violated state statute and requested that her license be suspended or revoked.

The matter goes before the full council on April 18. The soonest Bug N Out could close their doors would be April 19.
