Burger King employee dispute ends in shooting near Augusta Mall
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – A fight between two Burger King employees ended in a shooting Friday evening inside the restaurant on Wrightsboro Road, across from the Augusta Mall, law enforcement officials say.
The victim was taken to an Augusta hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to law enforcement sources. The employee who had the gun was arrested, authorities said.
It’s unclear what started the argument. Crime scene investigators were called to the scene. We sent our crews to the scene as well.
This is not the first time a dispute inside an Augusta Burger King ended with gunfire. Earlier this year, a dispute at the Burger King on Deans Bridge Road ended with shots fired.
