A club in Brentford has been shut down after an alleged shooting incident, according to the council.
Police called for an emergency review of the licence at Café Society, in Windsor Close , following a firearms incident in the early hours of the morning on Sunday October 11.
Hounslow Council 's licensing panel heard from the police and decided the club's licence should be suspended with immediate effect, on Wednesday (October 14).
Licence holder, Ravindra Patel, has been informed of the outcome of the hearing which means the premises cannot be used for any licensable activity including selling alcohol or playing music, Hounslow Council said.
If convicted, a breach of this suspension could result in up to six months in prison and an unlimited fine.
Councillor Richard Foote, cabinet member for community protection, at Hounslow Council, said: “The licensing panel have acted quickly and appropriately to deal with the incident at Café Society, which took place over the weekend.
“What happened at Café Society was serious but could have been fatal. It’s a miracle that no one was injured or lost their life.
“Ours and the police’s paramount interest is for the safety of our residents and visitors.
"We don’t tolerate gun crime – threatened or actual – and will do all we can to stop incidents like this happening in our borough.”
A full review of Café Society will be undertaken by the council within 28 days.
The licence holder can submit representations to the council against the temporary decision at any time.
The council will then consider whether the suspension still stands.
The firearms incident is being investigated by the Met.
