JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) – The investigation continues into the mass shooting at the Hideaway nightclub in northeast Jackson on Halloween.
Mayor John Horhn said the city is also looking at ways to prevent future violence.
License suspended
“When we got word over the weekend, we immediately suspended the license to operate that facility,” Horhn said. “We’ve made efforts to reach out to the owners of the shopping center.”

“We have gone back and looked at our notes from having called in a lot of these bar and restaurant owners earlier in the year to say, we’ve got a problem, and what are you all going to do about it? Because if it’s left up to us to have to come up with something, it may not be to the liking of the bar owners,” Horhn said.

“Clearly, we’ve got to put some more rules and regulations in place and requirements that, when you have events like that, you have proper security,” Horhn said…
