Bloomingdale officials have postponed a public hearing on whether to revoke the business license of a hotel where one person was fatally shot and five others wounded earlier this month.
The village agreed to push back the hearing to March 16, after the owners of the Indian Lakes Hotel asked for an extension. The meeting was originally scheduled for next week.
Indian Lakes will be required to remain closed until the hearing, Village President Franco Coladipietro said Friday.

Bloomingdale trustees will hold a hearing later this month to consider revoking the business license for Indian Lakes Hotel in the aftermath of a fatal shooting that brought years of security and maintenance issues to the fore.
Early Saturday, a large gathering attended by more than 100 people were partying on the upper floors of the hotel when a dispute devolved into violence.
James McGill Jr., a 27-year-old from Chicago s Englewood neighborhood, was fatally shot. A 22-year-old man was critically injured. Four other people were treated and released from hospitals in Chicago and the suburbs.

Bloomingdale police recovered four handguns from the frantic scene of a hotel shooting over the weekend that left one person dead and renewed calls to force Indian Lakes out of business.
Village trustees on Monday night discussed the procedural requirements needed to revoke operational licenses for the Indian Lakes Hotel in the wake of an altercation that turned violent among members of two groups numbering more than 100.
At least six people were shot, one fatally, police said. No arrests have been made, and no one was in custody Monday, Bloomingdale Public Safety Director Frank Giammarese said. Witnesses and shooting victims are offering little cooperation, police said.
