A woman opened fire on Burger King employees after becoming frustrated by the wait time for her order.
Per Fox 13 News, the incident in question, which was caught on CCTV cameras, occurred in a branch of the popular fast-food hamburger restaurant situated on Winchester Road in Memphis, Tennessee.
On Tuesday, March 30, the suspect, who has not yet been identified, was waiting for her food in the drive-through area and became enraged by the amount of time her meal was taking to prepare and serve.
Surveillance footage of the incident shows the woman getting out of her car, walking up to the window, and begin arguing with a Burger King employee.
When the staff member failed to calm her down, the woman became even angrier and promptly pulled out a black handgun from her car before leaning into the drive-through window. She then opened fire on the staff.
The startled workers fled from the gunfire through the rear door of the restaurant. Thankfully, nobody was hurt in the incident, and the shooter fled the scene before they could cause further harm.
