A man was arrested after a shooting Sunday afternoon inside a crowded restaurant at Lenox Square mall, Atlanta police said.
According to Channel 2 Action News, Alexander Dimitri McDaniel and another man were arguing inside Zinburger Wine & Burger Bar when McDaniel allegedly slapped the man in the face, pulled out a handgun and fired one shot. No one was injured in the shooting, which occurred about 4:30 p.m.
However, the sound of gunfire frightened people inside the mall.
“To me,” witness Rocky Jones told Channel 2, “it’s really surprising especially on a Sunday … where you’re expecting Mother’s Day and a lot of families. “You’re not thinking [about] any crime.”
The men left the restaurant before officers arrived.
McDaniel was arrested hours later on multiple charges, including reckless conduct, first-degree criminal damage to property and discharge of firearms on property of another.
