An argument over cold French fries has resulted in the shooting of a McDonald’s employee in Brooklyn, New York.
Around 7 o’clock in the evening, the 23-year-old victim was working at the fast food restaurant at 1531 Fulton St. in Bedford-Stuyvesant, when a female customer began harassing him over her fries on Monday, August 1.
FaceTiming her 20-year-old son during the quarrel about her fries being cold, the woman’s son soon went into the restaurant and started fighting with the employee.
On Tuesday, August 2, police reported that after a fight outside the restaurant, the son pulled a gun and shot the employee in the neck.
At this time, the man is at the hospital battling for his life.
On the steps leading to the hospital’s emergency department entrance, his grieving family and friends were seen mourning and consoling one another on Tuesday afternoon.
According to the police, one 9mm bullet was found at the scene, and the gunman had been apprehended. Charges, however, have not yet been made.
The alleged shooter has a history of arrests, including ones for grand larceny in 2019 and for assault and service theft in 2018.
