Gotti's lawyer, Arthur Horne, gave the statement that followed about the terrible tragedy to local Memphis news outlet WREG.
"On behalf of Prive, they’ve been in business for ten years, and nothing like this has ever happened at their establishment," he said. "It happened out in the parking lot, and it ended up in a shootout. Nothing happened inside the restaurant. Despite any conflicting reports, they were closing, and this happened at the end of the evening in the parking lot."
