An employee at a Wendy’s drive-thru restaurant in Chatham was shot early Thursday during what authorities described as a squabble with a customer.
The staffer, a 20-year-old woman, was working the window at Wendy’s, 8740 S. Lafayette Ave., when a male customer started arguing with her before firing shots about 1 a.m. Thursday, according to the Chicago police and fire departments.
The worker was shot in the right arm and was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center in fair condition, the fire department said.
Media reports say the drive-thru window was shattered by a bullet hole. A phone call to that Wendy’s location didn’t go through.
Area 2 detectives were investigating, but no one was in custody.
