A simple fast food order turned into a prolonged police standoff in Wichita, KS, this morning.
According to reports, a couple went through the McDonald’s drive-thru around 7:30 a.m. today. After pulling away from the window, they realized their order was wrong.
But instead of pulling into the parking lot and going into the restaurant, they pulled back into the drive-thru and attempted to cut off another vehicle in line.
This led to a verbal altercation between people in both vehicles. The driver of the car with the mixed-up order allegedly threw a crowbar at the other car. Her passenger then got out of their vehicle with a shotgun and fired once. The Wichita Eagle reports that the shot was fired into the driver’s side door of the car they had cut off, while KAKE-TV says that the shot was fired into the air.
Regardless, it appears that no one in the other car was injured.
Police tracked the male suspect — the one with the shotgun — a house and began blocking off local streets while they await a search warrant.
UPDATE: According to this Tweet from KAKE reporter Jared Cerullo, around 3:00 p.m. ET, police finally arrested the suspect who had been holed up inside a house since this morning’s incident.
My apologies to the Amish. In any case, I don’t think this fellow will be a great loss to society.
LOLs!!
Now if you were to combine a boomerang with a crowbar...
Yes, he’s a real gent, isn’t he? No doubt he is a frequent law enforcement consumer.
WOW! How many dogs had to die? With all those cop toys and testosterone flying around, somebody had to shoot a dog?
Who called in the Marines?
At least he’ll get a chance to add to his prison tattoos.
I like it, boomerbar or a crowrang.
Get some late night infomercials going ...........Get your Boomerbar for only $19.99.......BUT WAIT! We'll include a free Crowrang for FREE!!
I’ll bet it was over Chicken McNuggets. People who eat them are violent.
Well, as a famous American once said, "You can get more with a smile and a gun than you can with just a smile." Al Capone.
Anyone want to start a betting pool as to when the libs will get hold of this and use it ammo (no pun intended) for their attempts to increase gun control?
Billy Mays, you lived too soon.
Should be “use it as ammo”
Since there was no actual gunplay for the police to be involved in, they went around the neighborhoos and shot all of the dogs they could find.
I don’t see that happening - no pool of blood to dance in.
The stereotype of losers!
“WHO pulls away from the window at McDonalds before checking their order?”
My Brother :-)
They recently opened a brand new McDonalds right near our neighborhood, only a couple minutes drive away. My brother is a regular at McDonalds and before this new one opened, he had a much longer drive to the other ones, about 15 minutes away.
Not too long ago he came home from this new McDonalds, telling me that he bought me a big mac, but I told him that there was no big mac in the bag. He then complained that hes been to the drive through of this new McDonalds 10 times before and ALL ten times they got his order wrong. I said to him, “maybe you ought to check your order before you drive away”. And he replied, “yeah, I’ll do that from now on”.
