CHICAGO (CBS) -- A man has been charged with shooting another man outside a bar early Sunday in north suburban Niles.

Alen Hurem, 26, was ordered held without bond on Monday for the 4 a.m. attack in the parking lot of Chasers Sports Bar & Grill at 9003 N. Milwaukee Ave., according to Niles police and the Cook County sheriff's office.
