A subway worker was shot dead in front of her son on Sunday after an argument with a customer “about too much mayonnaise on his sandwich,” the restaurant owner was told.
According to Newsweek, Police said officers responded to the shooting at the downtown Atlanta gas station, in Northside Drive Southwest, about 6.30 p.m. local time. A second worker was hospitalized with injuries, Fox5 Atlanta reports. Restaurant owner Willie Glenn told local reporters: “Believe it or not, it was about too much mayonnaise on his sandwich.
“He decided to escalate the situation and from there, that’s when all hell broke loose.” He added that the employee who was killed had her son in the store when it happened. He added: “One of the young ladies who was killed today, her son was in the store. She had a young son that had to witness all of this,” he said.
An on-duty manager returned fire at the suspect but missed, Glenn said. The two employees shot had worked at the restaurant for three or four weeks, he added. “It is really unfortunate, I mean there is just a whole lot of shooting and killing going on and this was just ridiculous.
My heart, right now, is just with my employees,” Glenn said. “I don’t know what the world is coming to especially with our youth. They seem to be so hot-headed. “Everybody wants to carry a gun. Everybody wants to scare somebody with a gun. It’s scary out here.”
