A STRONG MESSAGE FROM AKRON MAYOR SHAMMAS MALIK AS THE CITY TAKES ACTION TO STOP GUN VIOLENCE. THIS ALL COMES AFTER A SHOOTING THAT INJURED TWO BYSTANDERS AT HIGHLAND SQUARE LAST WEEKEND. STARTING TONIGHT, PARKING IN THE AREA WILL CLOSE AT 11 P.M. AND ALL BUT ONE BAR WILL CLOSE AT MIDNIGHT. HIGHLAND TAVERN WILL REMAIN OPEN. A BAR MAYOR MALIK CLAIMS IS THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM.
