BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - A father fatally shot a masked man Saturday who opened fire inside a McDonald’s restaurant, police said.

The father and his sons were leaving the restaurant as the masked man walked in and started shooting, WBRC reported.

The father then started firing at the masked man. It is unclear if the man was targeting someone at the restaurant or attempting to rob it, WBRC reported.

The father and one of his children were struck in the hail of bullets. The father had life-threatening injuries, WBRC reported. The child is recovering from non-life-threatening injuries.

Police said the father, who has not been identified, will not be charged, WBRC reported.

A terrified fast food employee is now thanking an armed customer who shot and killed a masked gunman Saturday night in Birmingham.

Do they have CC in Alabama ?

Not by police but surely by his health insurer

Two employees hid in the freezer.

“He’s my hero,” he said. “Because I can only imagine how it would’ve went if he wasn’t armed. We might not be here having this interview.”

This man received life threatening wounds and still went ahead and eliminated the shooter before he killed who knows how many more? That is a hero.

CC ia legal in Alabama. A permit in the county of the shooting is only $5.00 a year.

Great job!

Not to be a pooper but an opportunistic place like this (https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3700510/posts) will chalk it up as yet another firearm death in America, supplying no details..

How about paying the dad a bounty of the cost to imprison the dead thug for 20 years had he survived.

At least cover his medical bills.

"I am 70 years old .... At 13 I was allowed to have my own weapon and ammunition in my bedroom."

I'm only two years behind you and I had a .22 when I was even younger. All the kids in my neighborhood did. We had BB guns before 1st grade. We lived in a rural area then, which today is almost part of the city. We would wander around in the woods all day shooting at this or that.

If anyone so much as saw a youngster walking around with a BB gun these days, the SWAT team would be there in minutes, blocking off streets, and setting up a mobile command post, with a helicopter overhead.

Lucky You.

I had to stay there for 3+ months and drive around all day from 07:00 - 17:30 6 days a week with a guy in the back seat doing Cell Tower Testing with 9 different phones sending big and small Data Packets.

The only better place we went to was fricking Detroit, lucky for us we got to trade with another crew for a “better” location.

It was Birmingham...

The bribe the state extorts for permission to exercise a Constitutional Right is $5.00 a year.

How much to church licences cost?
