Witnesses said the shooters were upset they had been kicked out the club by management, returning later and opening fire.

Two people, brothers Desmond and Timothy Wright, were arrested a short time later, and two handguns were found in their vehicle.

'You owe me a new cell phone,' the 30-year-old Garber told his boss, National Parking owner Marc Ebersole when he spoke to him hours later on a land line, as his mobile phone was ruined.

'He said, "I'm fine, everything's good",' Ebersole recalled in an interview with the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

Ebersole added: 'Of course we're going to take care of his cell phone.' ( dailymail.co.uk )
