Downtown, OTR bars under scrutiny following fatal Thanksgiving shooting

Officials are taking a closer look at how these bars operate and how to increase public safety in the area moving forward. "Cameo was real and I was the chair when the Cameo shooting happened, and it was the largest mass shooting that we had...obviously I want to be proactive," said Christopher Smitherman, vice mayor of Cincinnati. The Chalet Bar, where the fatal shooting happened, is just one of several bars in Downtown and OTR that Cincinnati Police are examining. They're also looking at a complex that includes OTR Live, Treehouse Bar and COPA Lounge. Patrons of the Sycamore Street complex were involved in a fatal crash early Sunday morning, and Paul Neudigate, assistant chief of Cincinnati Police, said there have been other issues at bars in those areas.
