(WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- A Long Island bar is drawing criticism for reportedly setting up a macabre betting pool that asks players to predict the number of shootings that will occur in New York City and Chicago over the Labor Day weekend.
“Let the shooting sprees begin!” says a social-media post attributed to The Cliffton, a tavern in Patchogue.
The mayor said he hopes the police and state liquor authority look into what appears to be illegal wagering.
The station says it could not reach bar operators for comment.
