After the Nov. 23 shooting, Club Hollywood officials posted a message on social media that said the club would “pause our operations until further notice.”

The Springfield News-Sun obtained four 911 calls from Club Hollywood after the shooting. The calls included several screaming people in the background.
A man who identified himself as the owner of Club Hollywood said to the dispatcher: “Someone just got shot inside ... He’s dead.”
Callers said they did not know who shot the man and did not know what happened.
A second caller yelled for people to close the doors because the shooter could still be outside the club.
“Being outside is not safe,” she screamed, telling people to get inside and secure the door.
Springfield police are planning a Tuesday press conference to talk about the shooting.
