SOUTHFIELD, Mich. (FOX 2) – A Chipotle employee in Southfield, Michigan, was shot in the leg by a customer Friday night, law enforcement sources told FOX 2. The shooting stemmed from an argument over guacamole.
The shooting happened at a Chipotle on Evergreen Road near Civic Center Drive around 6:50 p.m.
“It was loud, and then we all ran out,” said Michael Beals, a customer who captured the incident on video. “I didn’t really think… there would be a shot, but there was.”
The victim, a 21-year-old man, is in stable condition, according to a statement from Southfield police. He was taken to hospital, where his injuries were not life-threatening.
“I was eating a bowl and I heard shouting. And then I looked, they were arguing. One of the workers went to the bottom, I don’t know why, and then when he was at the bottom , the customer “I went around the counter, I tried to take his food and put it in a bag,” said Thomas Huber, another witness. “Then the employee came back and they started fighting, then we heard a gunshot and we ran out as fast as we could.”
The suspected shooter is a 31-year-old Detroit man, according to police. He was located and taken into custody shortly after fleeing.
