PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — A Wingstop employee was shot by a customer after an argument in Overbrook on Sunday evening, according to Philadelphia Police.
Police say the employee at the City Avenue restaurant suffered a graze wound and refused transport to the hospital.
According to police, around 5:20 p.m, some customers got into an argument with a 43-year-old employee.
Police told 6abc that the customers threw a bottle at the employee. Then as the customers were leaving, authorities say one of them fired a shot, which grazed the employee in her abdomen.
“She was not transported to the hospital, but she did positively ID a person that was in the store and a group of males,and they were stopped up the street. We’re also looking for a white Toyota Avalon occupied by two males that were also involved at the time,” explained Inspector Michael Gormley.
“It’s a tragic thing when somebody is going to work, raise a family, pay some bills, and they get hurt like that,” Gormley continued.
Anyone with information can call or text Philadelphia police at 215-686-TIPS (8477) or submit an anonymous tip online.
