« Inaugurations galore after New Year's break | Today | DA: No charges in fatal Fall River social club fire » December 29, 2006Club closed until Jan. 8 after deadly shootingPROVIDENCE — Club Pulse, the South Providence nightclub rocked by a triple shooting on Christmas morning, will be closed until Jan. 8, when a full hearing is scheduled to determine whether the club should keep its licenses to operate. At the request of the Police Department, the license board suspended the operating licenses of the nightclub because three men were shot — one later died — inside the club on Christmas morning. The police allege that it was only the latest in a string of troublesome incidents at Pulse. An emergency hearing had been scheduled for this morning to give the club’s owner, Alex Tomasso, owner of A.A.T. Restaurant Corp., the right to contest the suspension and reopen over the busy New Year’s weekend. But Tomasso’s lawyer, Joseph Keough, officially waived Tomasso’s right to the emergency hearing, and the club will stay closed until the board makes its decision on Jan. 8. Club ownership temporarily returned its licenses to operate to the city’s license administrator today, pending the results of the full hearing, according to Richard H. Aitchison, city license administrator. — Journal staff writer Daniel Barbarisi Posted by Jack Perry CommentsEbony | December 29, 2006 3:19 PM link I think that is very sad.It had to take a tragedy to happen to close the club. They should have closes that club a long time ago. I am from the surrounding area around Pulse its alwaya a fight. How does someone get into a club with a gun? That is crazy, they should demand all clubs to have metal detectors. Someone was not doing they're job and I blame the club owner , club promoter and security guards. The officers were doing they're job all they get paid for is there presents and making sure eveything is in order outside of the location. Some idiot that wokrs at the club either let someone they know get in w/ the gun or they were not doing they're job. Now a mother does not have a son , a child does not his/ her father, a brother does not have his brother and so on. What a shame, a very sad story.

I think that the club should be closed indefinately. As a friend of the family of the gentleman who died, the club should have been closed last March when they had the first incident and we wouldn't have lost Kendall. Rest in Peace.
