"Phillips said he was at the club doing paperwork that morning when he heard 'five or six' gunshots around 11 a.m. He quickly checked around outside and said he didn't see anyone fleeing the scene, but later discovered the windshield and a window of his vehicle had seemingly been shattered by bullets."
"'They pulled up right at the entrance on the side and started shooting,' said Phillips, and added that he was unsure if the incident was a hate crime or not."
"'I don't know if it's personal, I don't know if it's related to being gay, I don't know if it's related to the bar issues,' he told WMBF. 'Anybody with a mindset of pulling out a weapon in broad daylight is not right.'"
