Surveillance footage shows the moment a Taco Bell store manager poured hot water on a woman and a girl. The woman claimed she and the girl felt like they were “burning from the inside out.”
A Taco Bell employee in North Carolina was hospitalized with “life-threatening injuries” after he was shot by a suspect who believed he received the wrong amount of change after placing an order, police said.
According to Charlotte-Mecklenberg police, officers responded to an assault involving a deadly weapons call around 9:30 p.m. Saturday.
“Upon arrival, officers located an employee suffering from multiple gunshot wounds,” a police statement said. “Witness statements indicate that the suspect became aggressive after ordering food in the drive-thru because he believed he had received the wrong amount of change.”
“The suspect exited the thoroughfare and entered the restaurant where he became more aggressive, produced a firearm and began shooting inside the restaurant,” police added.
