Deputies said McQuiller, who was upset about some work that the shop did on his car, came into the business to confront the owner.

Deputies said McQuiller began firing a handgun at employees from outside the door and then went inside and fired another shot.

Channel 9's Gaston County reporter Ken Lemon obtained 911 calls and they revealed the chaotic moments when investigators said roughly six employees were inside, caught off guard.

"He just came in and started firing," the 911 caller said. "Shots fired. We're getting, we're uh. Somebody's shooting at us right now. We're inside the building. We need somebody here ASAP."

The owner of the business then grabbed a shotgun from his office and fired at McQuiller, hitting with several small pellets in the face and neck.

Deputies said after the shooting, McQuiller ran into the woods behind the Safari Miles restaurant to get rid of his firearm before running into the restaurant.

The report says that the shooter was struck by only a few pellets from the owner’s shotgun. The owner should look into getting a Street Sweeper so he could take out the trash first time every time.

Not that it matters, but what needed repair and how was that accomplished? Perhaps mistakes were made.

But, admit it. Haven’t we all felt like doing that to a car repair garage at one time out another.

Emotional restraint and smarts is all that kept me from being him.

What ever happened to “The Customer is always Right” motto of a few years ago?

Social justice is running amok. What’s this world coming to when you can’t even **** a customer without getting shot at?

The sky is falling and even Mickey D’s can’t keep your order straight.

That became “The Customer's Invoice is always Right”.

“The report says that the shooter was struck by only a few pellets from the owner’s shotgun.”

If he’d been firing buckshot, that would have been sufficient.
