North Carolina police took a fast food worker into custody after they said he fired shots at a customer in the parking lot at a Wendy's early Friday in Charlotte.

The incident occurred at 2 a.m., police said.

Investigators said two customers had gone through the drive-thru and were waiting for their food in the parking lot, police said. A female employee brought it out to them, but the women started fighting.

Police said a male employee then came out and shot at the customers with a shotgun.

Nobody was hurt, but officers took the worker into custody.

Police have not identified him and have not said what charges he will face.
