5-Year-Old Son of Victim Was Present
The names of the victims and suspect have not yet been released by the police. The 5-year-old son of the employee who was shot dead was present in the Subway restaurant when she was murdered. His mother was only 26 years old. The other victim, also employed at Subway, is 24. She was in critical condition when brought to the hospital. Both sandwich artists had only been working at the Subway shop for less than a month.
The homicide occurred at about 6:30 P.M. at a Subway located inside a Circle K gas station on Northside Drive Southwest, according to officials.
The owner of the Subway location, Willie Glenn, told reporters with Good Day Atlanta that the customer was angry because there was “too much mayonnaise” on his sandwich. Glenn also said that the manager on duty was shot at and returned fire but didn’t hit the suspect.
“It’s really unfortunate,” Glenn said. “There’s just a whole lot of shooting and killing going on. And this was just ridiculous. My heart right now is with my employees.”
A Suspect Was Arrested
Police arrested a 36-year-old suspect but charges have not yet been announced.
Interim Chief Of Police Darin Schierbaum said that the majority of homicides in his jurisdiction are caused by interpersonal arguments.
“We need individuals to talk out their disputes, walk away and do not pick up guns,” said Chief Schierbaum. “We can take down drug operations that breed violent crime, we can dismantle gang organizations that breed violent crime, we can stop robbery crews that breed violent crime, we cannot stop someone who is mad because there is too much mayonnaise on their sandwich.”
Fox 5 Atlanta published a police update mentioning that it was a citizen who witnessed the shooting who contacted authorities and helped instigate the investigation.
Deputy Chief Charles Hampton Jr. mentioned that the 5-year-old child who was present during the murder of his mother now needs to go through trauma counseling.
What on earth is this world coming to??? When someone loses their LIFE because she put too much mayo on a freaking sandwich, it is time for things to change…I think every business should have a gun on property, and that the gun should be used when some maniac does something like this in front of a child who happened to see her mother blown away.
Yeah Beverley just what we need more guns. How about if we had no guns that mother would still be allowed to love and raise her son.
He would have used a knife, a rock, a piece of wood. Ever since Cain and Able we have been figuring ways to dispatch one another. Don’t blame guns. It’s the world today as it was yesterday.
America the land of the gun loving nut jobs.
Yeah ban guns that will fix the problem just like heroin is banned yet it kills more people a day than guns how’s that working out? So let’s ban guns so the underworld can boom with more illegal activities.
