If a hotel is in a bad neighborhood, and someone get shot near the hotel. How would you defend the hotel?

Depending on the nature of the claim, the case would turn on notice of a violent act.  If the police grid for the area shows a high likelihood or past history of gun violence, then the owner of the hotel would have to take suitable precautions against such problems.  However, your question said that the individual got shot near the hotel.  So the question is how near.  A property owner has obligations to take protection with regard to his or her property so I need to know how close to the property the incident occurred.
