A Mississippi Burger King employee was arrested after police said he got into a fight with a customer over the drive-thru intercom, according to arrest records.
Gulfport police charged Eddie Louis Smith, 33, with aggravated assault and possession of a weapon after felony conviction.
Police were flagged down Thursday night while they were assisting a driver who was stranded near the Burger King. The person who flagged them down said there was a violent fight happening at the fast food restaurant.
While police were approaching the Burger King, they said they heard two gunshots and saw Smith on top of the victim.
Police said Smith and the customer first got into a fight through the drive thru intercom speaker. Moments later, Smith allegedly walked out of the back door of the Burger King while the customer exited their vehicle and the two started to physically fight.
While they were fighting, Smith grabbed his gun and fired off two rounds, shooting the victim, police said. They were brought to the hospital and are expected to be okay.
One of the rounds hit Smith’s hand, authorities said. After getting treatment, he was booked into the Harrison County Adult Detention Center.

Guess you can’t have it your way.
Fast foot restaurants have become war zones. Crazy.
If the employees or other customers don't kill you the food eventually will, good idea to stay away.
Wait, wait … don't tell me … Pat, I'll go with an I.
I rarely go through a fast food drive up window because of the folks working behind the counter. Today, I was craving a Crunch Wrap Supreme from Taco Bell and decided to bite the bullet. Sure enough, the punk kid was rude as hell, even though I was nice as can be (don’t want them doing anything to my food), but he was just a jerk. Don’t know if it was because I was white or if he was just having a bad day.
“I want extra tomatoes, extra onions, extra sauce and three patties so rare you’ll have to shoot it.”
“OK, I’ll be right out with it!”
No need...
“Gulfport police charged Eddie Louis Smith, 33, with aggravated assault and possession of a weapon after felony conviction.”
Well that can’t be true because there is no way he could have passed a background check and purchased a gun. /sarc
Yep!
The Irish & Italians are at it again...
Yes. Once in awhile work involves travel and I’ll end up at a McDonald’s in Nashville or similar out of convenience/desperation ...the hostility towards me as I approach the counter is scary... seeing as they control my food...yuck!
On the rare occasion I eat fast food I go to El Pollo Loco. It is a pretty good chicken sandwich and the Mexicans that work seem happy to see me.
I like Filiberto’s. Don’t know if there are any outside Arizona yet.
Why didn’t Smith just throw an alligator out the window into the customer’s car? That is de rigueur.
