Three people were injured Sunday when a fight broke out and shots were fired at Big Ed's restaurant off Falls of Neuse Road in Raleigh.

"People were punching, hitting and throwing chairs and hitting people with chairs," said Amanda Lewis, a customer who was at the restaurant when the fight started. "Next thing you know, here goes the shots being fired.
In video a witness sent to WRAL News, a man pulled out what appeared to be a gun as the fight broke out and fired three shots at the ground. Shortly after the shots were fired, the man punched a woman in the face.
Lewis said she was in the restaurant with a group of 10 people, along with her husband and two children and said her daughter left her shoes inside the restaurant as she and other customers ran out.
"It's nerve wracking," she said.
One man told WRAL News he brought his grandchildren to Big Ed's after church only to be met by chaos.
"I said, 'Not again.' I get up in the morning and I listen to the news, I go to bed at night and listen to the news, [and hear about shootings] in Raleigh, Durham and Fayetteville."

Gotta be the Amish.
Seldom a guess these days.
He’s the type of perpetrator that if you attempt to describe him, you would be called a racist.
Wow....white people....that’s a switch.

At least it wasn’t at a church funeral service.

But hey, if you can’t get into a fight and fire off a few rounds at Big Ed’s on mothers day...what’s this country coming to? Lol!
It was justified. They used ketchup in the BBQ sauce
It’s white people
Nothing says happy Mother’s Day like a big brawl and shots fired.
“Video”? The damned commercial was longer and more informative.
Whites were there too, but look again at who’s doing the fighting.
Relatives of Joy Reid coming to visit from the Congo. They heard Big Ed’s serves rack of human ribs to feast on.
If we got rid of a certain percentage of a certain demographic, we’d have like almost no crime.
Big Ed’s is the new Chuck E. Cheese.
A black guy is throwing punches non-stop. He is with a black woman. Everyone else not being punched, is fleeing.
The usual suspects. Very obvious.
No it’s not. Most of the fighting is being done behind that column and it looks like blacks to me. That one tall guy with the afro looks mixed black/white. The surveillance video of the guys running down the sidewalk also look like blacks, but you really can’t tell much from the video.
I slowed the playback speed down to .5X to get a better view.
From what I could tell, the fight involves the black family(?) at the far side of the restaurant.
The people in the foreground closest to the camera seem to be trying to escape in the opposite direction.
I didn’t know there was a Big Ed’s in N Raleigh, the one downtown in Moore Square is fantastic.
"Ya think?";-)
