That employee’s brother, who also works at the restaurant, tried to intervene. That’s when the customer pulled out a gun and shot the employee’s brother.
The suspect hasn’t been identified as of yet.
Police don’t believe the shooting is connected to a shooting that happened just 30 minutes prior about 1.5 miles away.
