Witnesses say that a 25-year-old man who was shot by police Saturday after becoming violent at a McDonald's had demanded "curly fries" in the fast-food restaurant - and reacted badly when they weren't available, according to residents living near the restaurant.
"I heard he really went nuts in there," said John Perry, who was sitting outside the Esquimalt McDonald's yesterday afternoon.
The man is recovering in hospital, where he underwent surgery for a single gunshot wound to the abdomen.
He is expected to recover.
The officer who fired the shot is on administrative leave while the matter is investigated by an outside police force.
He is a four-year veteran of the force.
Staff at the McDonald's restaurant called police early Saturday evening when a man outside the restaurant began punching the windows, said deputy chief Bill Naughton.
The man then began punching and kicking vehicles in the parking lot.
When two police officers tried to arrest the man, he resisted "and all three went to the ground," said Naughton.
At least one of the officers had his gun drawn. The male was unarmed.
"During the struggle on the ground, one of the officers' weapons discharged, striking the man in the abdomen," he said.
Naughton said it was "way, way too early" to characterize the shooting as accidental, though he acknowledged the officer involved made a statement to that effect at the scene.
well I just had pizza....
mmmmmmmmmmmmm
Arby's......
I was in Canuckistan a few years back and the big thing at McDonald's there is fries covered in curds and cheese, just looking at it made me want to vomit.
I can't believe I didn't think of that.............
I'm really slipping.
Arby's curly fries are the best!
Do you want fries with that bullet wound?
Guess it's not safe to visit either N.O. or North of the Border.
Is there something in the water up there?
