SALT LAKE CITY—The father of a 4-year-old boy who fired a gun at police told investigators the child had gotten ahold of the weapon before, according to police documents.

The child stuck the gun out of a car window as police arrested his father, who had brandished his gun at McDonald’s workers over an incorrect order on Monday, police said.
