"We're not putting up with this crap anymore," "This place is closed, and we will do everything in our power to make sure it stays closed."

Quotes from Mayor Nutter regarding shootings outside the Felton Supper Club over the weekend. Five women and four men, were shot early Sunday outside the club, on Rising Sun Avenue. All were in stable condition.

Nutter said a $5,000 reward would be offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the people responsible for the shooting. As people exited the club, two young men walked into the street and opened fire, police said. No motive had been determined.

"This could have been mass murder," said Nutter. Nutter said 18 shots had been fired. The club has a history of gun violence.

In December, a man was shot on the dance floor. And on New Year's Day, a man was shot and killed as he walked home from the club.

The club draws thousands of people from the tristate area, and has a history of violations with the Philadelphia Department of Licenses and Inspections.

In January, the city sued and had the club shut down, Nutter said.

The owner, Maria Lopez, according to city records, repetitioned, and "somehow," Nutter said, a judge ordered in April that the club could reopen.
