The shooting occurred after several local events ended, leaving the restaurant overwhelmed with online orders. According to Fox News, Sheriff Judd said 21-year-old McDonald’s employee Yoan Soto “politely” told two drive-thru customers, 18-year-old Nicholas Jones and 20-year-old Peter Story, that the restaurant was too backed up to take their order.

“We’re going to hang out here,” they said. “‘When you get off, we are going to beat you up.”
Jones and Story parked and went inside the restaurant, where they continued confronting Soto. According to the sheriff, one of the men allegedly mentioned having a “switch” and a “30-clip,” suggesting they were armed. Soto replied that he also had a gun. The restaurant manager stepped in to de-escalate the situation.

When Jones and Story attempted to grab Soto’s weapon, Soto fired, hitting Story in the neck.
“It’s a blessing that it was a very minor wound, but you know what? When you start shooting McGuns, you’ll get people’s attention, and they’ll let you McHave the restaurant and that’s what they did,” Judd said.
Jones drove Story to the hospital and contacted police. Soto fled initially but returned to the scene when deputies arrived. He cooperated with investigators and was charged with felony tampering with evidence. Jones and Story were charged with trespassing after warning and disorderly conduct.

Judd added that Soto appeared to have acted in self-defense. “They created a well-founded fear in him and the store manager,” he added. “It was just a McMess. But we’ll sort it out, because we’re McGood at investigating McCrime.”
