Spilled beer led to a man being shot outside a Jonesboro bar early Friday, Clayton County Police said.
Timothy Jackson, 32, told officers he accidentally spilled beer on an unidentified man inside The Spot on Ga. 85 in Jonesboro around 2:30 a.m.
The bars staff threw the men out when their verbal dispute turned physical, Clayton County police spokesman Officer Kevin Hughes said.
Once outside, the unidentified man pulled out a gun and shot Jackson several times, Hughes said. The gunman then climbed into a white car and fled south on Ga. 85.
Jackson was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he remains in fair condition, a hospital spokeswoman said.
No description was available. Police said the shooting is under investigation.
