On Sunday night, an unidentified man entered a Subway Sandwiches restaurant at an Atlanta gas station on Northside Drive around 6:30 pm. Shortly after placing his order, the customer became enraged upon receiving a sandwich with too much mayonnaise. According to reports, that’s when an heated argument ensued, which eventually led to the customer pulling out his gun and opening fire on the two female employees that were behind the counter.
“Believe it or not, it was about too much mayonnaise on his sandwich,” said the store’s owner, Willie Glen. “He decided to escalate the situation and from there that’s when all hell broke loose.”
Glen added, “I don’t know what the world is coming to especially with our youth. They seem to be so hot-headed…Everybody wants to carry a gun. Everybody wants to scare somebody with a gun. It’s scary out here.”
The incident is especially tragic for many reasons, including the fact that the two victims just got hired at this location about three weeks ago. But perhaps the saddest detail about the shooting is that it happened right in front of one of the employee’s sons, who just so happened to be inside the restaurant to witness the entire occurrence.
In the aftermath, one of the victims was killed while the other is currently being hospitalized after being taken to a local hospital for a surgical proceedure. It’s being reported that the store manager on hand was armed during the attack and managed to return gunfire, but what remains unclear is whether or not the gunman was injured during the exchange. So far, one arrest has been made, as law enforcement is still looking for the shooter.
