"Apparently the bouncers were trying to get people out of the club at the end of the night. Somebody bumped into his Presley's girlfriend who was with him and said something that he took offense to, and they exchanged words and he just started shooting at him at the front door of the club," Soldan said. The weapon was a 9mm handgun, he said.
The 25-year-old and the 31-year-old were next to a bouncer when they were shot, Soldan said.
