Man buys lunch, fires shot inside hot wings spot

A man who bought lunch at Hot Wings Plus on Wednesday afternoon reportedly fired a shot inside the restaurant after he asked for his money back and a restaurant employee refused to put it in his hand, placing it instead on the counter, police say.

It was about 2 p.m. when deputies were called to the wings restaurant at 3479 Pio Nono Avenue, according to a news release from the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office.

The man had just left, running toward Rice Mill Road, after firing a single shot. The employee ran toward the back of the store, escaping to a nearby business, the release said.

The employee told police that the man had asked for his money back after placing a lunch order. The employee put the man’s money back on the counter, refusing to hand it to the man directly, the release said.

No one was injured in the incident.
