Following Shooting, Posh Glen Cove Venue Has Liquor License Suspended
The New York State Liquor Authority has suspended The Mansion at Glen Cove's liquor license in response to a shooting that injured three.
GLEN COVE, NY — The Mansion at Glen Cove, a popular venue known for its black-tie events, has had its liquor license suspended in response to a shooting that left three people injured at a private event on July 10.
The New York State Liquor Authority (SLA) made the announcement on its website, saying "no alcohol may be sold or consumed on the premises." The decision to temporarily pull The Mansion's liquor license was made at a board meeting on July 13.
The shooting took place at a private event promoted online as the "Big Fendi Celebrity B-Day Pool Party."

According to the SLA, The Mansion was denied a permit from the City of Glen Cove but hosted the party anyway.
Police said the celebration drew between 150 and 200 guests and that three people — a security guard and two party-goers — were shot in the venue's lobby. The security guard was trying to break up a disturbance in the lobby when shots rang out.

"Police responding to the premises encountered a chaotic and dangerous scene, with patrons pushing and running to exit the establishment while employees attempted to mop up blood from the crime scene," the SLA said in a statement. "Police also detailed patrons, employees, and promoters were throwing boxes of alcohol in their cars and running off with bottles of liquor."
Despite the chaos, no serious injuries were reported. All three gunshot victims suffered non-life-threatening injuries. And the alleged shooter, Remy Marshall, eventually turned himself in to police, according to officials.
The SLA has charged The Mansion with 10 violations of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Law, including "availing" their license to an unapproved promoter, disorderly premise, and failure to obtain local permits for an outdoor event with amplified music.
"SLA license holders have an obligation to maintain orderly operations," said SLA Chairman Vincent Bradley. "This business has failed to uphold their obligation as a licensee, and the Board is taking action to ensure public safety and support local law enforcement."
