SALT LAKE CITY -- Salt Lake City police say there are some similarities between a weekend drive-by shooting and a shooting at a local McDonald's restaurant that followed a dispute over the menu at the drive-thru window.
The McDonald's shooting happened at about 2 a.m. Sunday at 210 W. 500 South.
Police say a woman driving a white Dodge Intrepid became upset after learning the restaurant was no longer serving dinner and had switched to its breakfast menu.
Detective Dennis McGowan says at some point a male, also in the car, demanded that they be served dinner. When the clerk told them no, the car pulled forward. Police say at least one man, a heavy-set Polynesian with a ponytail, got out of the car and grabbed a shotgun from the trunk.
"Once the clerk saw the gun, the clerk dove for cover. A few seconds later they heard the blast, and the shotgun blast ripped apart the drive-thru window," said McGowan. The clerk was unhurt.
The car then sped away. McGowan says detectives were able to find surveillance tape from a nearby business, but the video wasn't able to give them any further information.
Calls to McDonald's for comment were not immediately returned.
A few hours earlier a Polynesian male shot at a man at his home near 1800 West and 400 North. Police say a woman was also driving the car in that shooting.
The only thing I'll add to this last statement is thatthis guy isnot the only Polynesian in SLC, but there could be a connection.
