PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - A man was shot after an apparent argument over fast food in the city’s Northern Liberties section early Monday morning.

The two men were in a parked car near the intersection of 2nd and Callowhill Streets, eating fast food when an argument broke out over french fries, according to police.

The two men got out of the car, started fighting, and investigators say that’s when one of them pulled a gun and shot the other.

The victim was taken to Hahnemann University Hospital in critical condition.

Witnesses tell police the shooter drove off in a silver Mercedes. The hunt continues for that car.

No word on what started the argument over the fries.

If there’s lead in sea salt, it’s less than 0.01%.

[Larry Lucido]

A cheesesteak, maybe. But not fries.

[jmacusa]

Let me guess. They’re names were ‘’Quanell’’ and “Jamal’’?

[Still Thinking]

Well, maybe they were really good fries!

[Still Thinking]

"There's no freak in French Fries!"

"That's what I been trying to tell ya!"

[Revolting cat!]

French Fries? Did one of them wave a white flag?

[patton]

He did - but I put the pan down in the basement.

Lead creeps me out.
