One man is dead following a road-rage confrontation in the drive-thru of a McDonald’s in Florida, authorities said.

The incident happened around 8 p.m. Sunday at a McDonald’s in Daytona Beach, Florida, according to Fox 35 Orlando.

Officers responded to a reported shooting and found a woman giving a man CPR in the parking lot. The man had an apparent gunshot wound.

Another man approached officers and identified himself as the shooter, police said.

The incident started with a road rage disagreement in the drive-thru lane at the fast-food restaurant, according to the report. An altercation ensued and the shooter claimed he fired in fear of life.
