NEW YORK — An order of cold fries sent hot lead flying outside a McDonald’s in Brooklyn, with a critically-injured employee shot in the neck by a customer’s outraged son, police sources said Tuesday.
The 23-year-old fast food employee was taking orders about 7 p.m. Monday inside the Bedford-Stuyvesant eatery when a 40-year-old customer, while chatting on FaceTime with her son, complained that her French fries were cold, police sources said.
The son, listening in as his mother argued with store employees, then appeared out of nowhere outside the McDonald’s and joined the escalating fast-food fracas, pulling a 9mm handgun and shooting the worker on Fulton St. near Throop Ave., according to cops.
