This is not the first time that there has been an incident at a fast-food chain over an incomplete order.
A McDonald's manager in Canton, Miss., was shot after messing up a customer's fish sandwich order.
The man allegedly shot the store manager after ordering two Filet-o-Fish sandwiches before discovering that only one was in the bag, according to WAPT.
The man reportedly left the McDonald's location and returned later with a gun.
Vicki McNeil, Chief of the Canton Police Department, said the man appeared to be unstable.
"He insinuated his food hadn't been prepared correctly but it seemed from his mind state, at that time, and that nobody could have done anything that would have been satisfying to him," McNeil said.
