ATLANTA - Friday will be a day an Atlanta banker from South Hall man will never forget, for two reasons.<br /> <br /> First of all, Kevin Clingman had his work day interrupted by the parking garage shooting in midtown Atlanta that left a woman dead. From his 26th-floor office, he had a clear view of what had happened.<br /> <br /> "We look outside the window and saw a lady laying face down."<br /> <br /> Clingman, who is from Flowery Branch, said "we could hear those gunshots as if they were right outside the window...because, you know, the buildings are tall and it just echoed."<br /> <br /> He said he never felt in danger because it was obvious that the shots had come from outside his building. The building was locked-down for a time, however, as a precaution.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> And, then, as the business day came to a close, he and other employees of One Georgia Bank learned that the FDIC had taken over the bank.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> But Clingman was back at his desk Monday... working for a new employer, Ameris Bank - with thoughts of the shooting still fresh in his mind.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
