COLUMBUS, Ohio — The City of Columbus shut down a bar on the east side that has been the scene of two shootings in the last month.

According to Columbus City Attorney Zach Klein, the city received a temporary restraining order to close the bar located at 5200 Riding Club Lane. The bar has gone by the names "Atlas," "LV Lounge" and "De La Soul."

The premises later shut down.
