DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — An employee at a local fast food restaurant shot a customer who was unhappy with his order.

The shooting happened around midnight at the Checkers off Candler Road in DeKalb County.

The manager confirmed the shooting to Channel 2′s Kristen Holloway and said the employee has been fired. Police identified the ex-employee as 24-year-old Johnte Robinson.

DeKalb County police said the victim, in his early 30s, was shot in the upper body and was taken to the hospital with non life-threatening injuries.

Robinson was arrested and charged with aggravated assault.

The manager told Holloway the shooting started over a chicken wing order.

Two men placed their order at the walk-up window and became upset when the order was wrong, according to the manager.

She said they tried to remake the order when the two men started yelling at employees.

The manager said after they opened the window back up, one of the men threw all the wings at the employee. That is when Robinson shot the customer.

Holloway spotted several bullet holes in the shattered window and the wings that started it all still on the counter.

That stereotype about Checkers workers being strapped isn't a lie.

Don’t throw chicken wings at people

idk why people keep treating these grown mfs working / living off minimum wage like shyt thinking they’ll just take it all the time.

Instead of shooting them, should’ve got a container full of that hot fry grease and threw it at his fukkin face...

Nope, them throwing the chicken at her is just like them hitting her. With a good lawyer she will probably do no jail time.

This reminds me of a case down here. Folks in a dispute over using a cell phone in a movie theater. Pops goes to his car and grabs a gun. The dispute rages on and the other guy throws popcorn at Pops. Pops shoots and kills him. He tried to use stand your ground as a defense. Didn't work.
