Surveillance video obtained by authorities shows the young woman throwing drinks at customers through the drive-thru window. A man allegedly responded with the same action by throwing glasses at M.me Gardner.
The latter eventually drove into the restaurant parking lot and allegedly fired two shots at a customer’s vehicle, FOX 13 reported. According to the police, a bullet could have hit the car. Gardner was arrested a few hours later. X

The employee reportedly told several versions of his story. He said he was in “fear for his life” and only used his gun to “warn” him not to approach him, according to the arrest document.
