Shots Fired At A Burger King Drive-Thru in Memphis

An unidentified woman entered a Burger King drive-thru in Memphis, Tennessee, ordered food and then shot up the joint.     

Memphis Police Department reported that the woman was furious because she had to wait for her order. The irate customer allegedly stepped out of the car and grabbed her handgun, after arguing with a Burger King employee. She was caught on camera climbing halfway through the drive-through window before letting off shots.

“Crime is just getting bad everywhere now. More security, more police in the area would probably help,” said Eddie House, a Burger King customer, to ABC News 4.

“I hate they were impatient. Kids work there. So you know that’s the thing,” Dewayne Wilson, Burger King employee told the news outlet. “That’s kind of messed up, I’m glad everyone is ok.”

The employees escaped through a back door. 

Photos of the suspect riding in a gray sedan with an unidentified man have been distributed. The Memphis Police Department asked anyone with information to call CrimeStoppers at 901-528-CASH.

Burger King told FOX 13 to the public stating that they do not condone violence and will team up with law enforcement to identify the shooter. 

“We do not tolerate or condone violence of any kind at our restaurants because the safety of our team members and guests is our top priority. Fortunately, no one in the restaurant was injured during this incident. The restaurant operator is fully cooperating with authorities on their ongoing investigation.”
