A Chicago police officer who was shot in the spine while breaking up a fight at a Beverly bar last year has sued the alleged gunmen and the bar owner, claiming lax security and violations of city licenses led to a violent melee outside the tavern.

Sean’s Rhino Bar & Grill should have been closed nearly an hour before a fight broke out inside the tavern in the early-morning hours of July 9, 2022, but the bar was packed with patrons who had spent hours drinking after a massive softball tournament, according to a lawsuit filed last month by Chicago Police Officer Danny Golden and his brother, John.
