A tiff between employees at a McDonald’s in the East Atlanta Village neighborhood led to gun violence late Friday afternoon.
Atlanta police said a manager at the fast-food restaurant was critically injured when a coworker opened fire on her. Authorities did not release the name of the suspected shooter in a news release.
McDonald’s officials identified the victim as Elizabeth Williams and said she’s worked at the restaurant for three years, Channel 2 Action News reported.
Officers were called to the 400 block of Moreland Avenue around 4:15 p.m. and found Williams with multiple gunshot wounds. She was taken to the hospital in critical condition.
Investigators said preliminary indications show the manager had a dispute with a coworker that carried over into the parking lot. Police said after being asked to leave the property, the suspect returned and confronted Williams outside, where he shot her and fled the scene.
