A restaurant in Calabogie, Ont., has had its liquor licence suspended as Ontario Provincial Police investigate a car crash that killed two teens and seriously injured two others last week.

The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) told CBC News on Wednesday that Shooter's Bar and Grill on Calabogie Road is facing multiple infractions under the Liquor Licence Act, including "permit apparent minor to have or consume liquor on licensed premises" and "permit removal of liquor from licensed premises."

Police said three of the teens who were not wearing seatbelts were ejected from the car, and that alcohol was a factor in the crash, which happened Friday on Calabogie Road south of Burnstown. The restaurant is a short drive south of the crash scene.

The restaurant is facing five other infractions:

Permit drunkenness.

Promote immoderate consumption.

Licensee sell/supply liquor to apparent intoxicated person.

Fail to verify identification of apparent minor.

Fail to maintain control over premises.

Suspension a 'public safety' issue

The four teens, all 18, played hockey for the Renfrew Timberwolves.

Brandon Hanniman was pronounced dead at the scene. Alex Paquette died in hospital after being taken off life support on Monday. Two other teens who were seriously injured were also sent to hospital.

The Alcohol and Gaming Commission was contacted by the OPP on Monday as investigators continue to probe the events leading up to the fatal crash.

Phil Serruya, director of communications for the AGCO, said the commission issued a proposal to revoke the restaurant's liquor licence immediately after hearing from the OPP about the crash.

"When there are concerns about public safety, then it is within the registrar's ability to suspend [the licence] so that operations don't continue," Serruya said.

"Those details are all part of the review that's going on right now, so what we can say is based on the information we have received from the OPP, these were the actions that the regulator took," Serruya said.

Prior infractions

The restaurant can appeal the suspension as the review is ongoing.

Shooter's was accused of three minor liquor licence infractions in 2012. Subsequent investigations ended in warnings, according to Serruya.

The doors to the restaurant were locked on Wednesday afternoon and the parking lot empty. It was supposed to open at 11 a.m. A yellow liquor licence suspension hangs inside the front door.

The restaurant's Facebook page appears to have been taken down.

Calls to the restaurant Wednesday were not returned.

Community heartbroken, say residents

Hanniman's funeral was held earlier today. Paquette's is scheduled for Friday.

People in the area say they are trying to come to terms with the loss.

Lori Barns live in Calabogie and said the community is heartbroken.

"It's a tight community and it doesn't really matter what or how or who or how this happened. The fact is there are four families who are hurting very badly right now."

It's hard to find anyone who isn't feeling sick about what happened, said Mike Wagner, who owns a brewery in the community.

"Everybody in town either knows who these kids are or has a connection to them somehow," said Wagner.

Wagner said he believes there's a problem with drinking and driving in towns across Ontario that simply isn't being discussed.

"I think people are being pretty quiet, people they're not talking about this in public. They might be talking about it around their kitchen tables."

"I think it takes a tragedy like this to wake people up and say 'What the heck am I doing.'"
