Atlanta police are looking for a rude gift-giver who allegedly shot a man for refusing to return part of the birthday present.
Around 3:20 a.m., police were called to the Chinese Buddha restaurant at 100 10th Street when the shooting was reported.
The victim was celebrating his birthday with friends on the restaurant patio when the gunman pulled up in a black Nissan Altima and offered the victim $10 as a gift, police say.
The man returned shortly and asked for $4 back.
When the birthday celebrant refused, the man went for a handgun. As the armed man returned to the patio, several party-goers tackled him.
But the gun went off, hitting the birthday victim once in the abdomen, police said.
The birthday victim was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The gunman got in his car and drove away.
Return for updates.
