Violence that downtown St. Louis continues to experience is becoming threatening to the city's bottom line. An alderman told News 4 major companies are threatening to move out of downtown if things don't change.

News 4 got new exclusive video backing up some residents' concerns. Video showing gunfire in front and behind the Reign Nightclub, along with patrons beating, kicking and throwing punches at others. Those concerns, residents say, are stemming from the club.

"Since that operation opened, we've been having trouble, like, immediately," Andy Crossett said. He has lived on Washington Avenue, down the street from Reign, for more than a decade now.
