FALL RIVER — The owner of the sports bar, Mickey Doyle’s, received a hefty liquor license suspension by the Fall River Board of Licensing on Tuesday in connection to a shooting on June 4 that left a 33-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his leg. 

 

Mickey Doyle’s owner Brian Andree did not attend Tuesday’s hearing, but that didn’t stop the board from ordering the establishment shuttered effective immediately and remain closed until the end of December. 

 

Police responded to calls of multiple gunshots around 12:30 a.m. at the strip mall where Mickey Doyle’s is located.

 

According to a presentation to the board by Fall River Police Sgt. David Gouveia, the victim was fleeing from a vehicle where the occupants were shooting at him.  

 

When police arrived, the victim and the suspect vehicle were gone, but officers found multiple spent shell casings, bullets lodged in the walls of adjoining businesses and a trail of blood from America Street to the rear door of the bar.
