A customer shot a McDonald’s employee in the thigh early Sunday morning after a fight at the restaurant on Ponce de Leon Avenue, authorities said.
Atlanta police responded at around 4 a.m. to a shooting call at the 24-hour location just east of Boulevard. When officers arrived, they found the employee inside suffering from a gunshot wound. He was taken to a hospital.
According to investigators, the employee and customer fought before the gunfire erupted outside the business a short time later. The suspect, who was not identified, ran from the scene before police arrived.
Police did not provide a description of the suspect or say what they fought over. The shooting remains under investigation.
