Drive-Thru Dispute Over Corn Leaves KFC Worker Fighting for Life
In a shocking incident, a KFC employee was gravely wounded in St. Louis, when a dispute over the unavailability of corn at the restaurant turned deadly. The 25-year-old employee sustained severe injuries.
According to KMOV 4, the trouble began when a man aged between 40-50 years pulled up at the drive-thru. The man became aggressive upon learning that the fast-food establishment had run out of corn.
As tensions heightened, the disgruntled customer brandished a firearm at the drive-thru window, furthering his threats. Thereafter, the 25-year-old employee decided to approach the car outside, where he was tragically shot in the abdomen.
“KFC employee hospitalized after customer opens fire because he was upset that the restaurant had run out of corn, police say.
Renee Brandao, a local resident, expressed her dismay to KMOV 4 News, saying, “They’re just there getting a paycheck. They’re not even running the business. It’s not on them what happens. They’re just trying to get through their day, and then someone decides to take an issue with them and threaten them.”
In the same vein, Kelly Pound, who frequents a nearby bus stop, offered her perspective on the situation. She pointed out that the incident could be a manifestation of the stress people are dealing with these days. “Everyone is feeling on edge these days. Sometimes it just tips people over,” she told the outlet.

An Arizona man has been charged with the murder of his childhood friend after the headless body of Alijah Bradley was discovered in the desert. The remains of the 24-year-old were found near Gila Bend, just days after his family had reported him missing.
Samuel Bush, 23, faces charges of second-degree intentional murder and concealing a body, with the charges being filed on September 4.
Bradley’s family was left puzzled over the motive behind the murder. A relative, who wished to remain anonymous, expressed their confusion to local news outlets KPHO and KTVK, stating, “We honestly don’t know. He was Sam’s best friend. He was Sam’s only friend.”
The family had reported Bradley missing on August 15 after he failed to show up for work and his mother had not heard from him. Bush had initially told the family he was unaware of Bradley’s whereabouts.
Using GPS coordinates, Bradley’s car was tracked to a remote desert location. On August 19, police found both the car and Bradley’s remains.
Authorities revealed that Bradley’s body had been dismembered, and confirmed that all parts of his remains had been recovered. The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office has yet to comment on a potential motive for the crime.
Bradley’s aunt, Melissa McNeal, shared her sorrow with ABC15, stating, “It’s devastating. He was just beginning his adulthood.” She added, “I don’t feel a relief or anything because – it doesn’t bring him back. It doesn’t fix anything.”
Bradley’s mother, who chose not to be named, committed herself to seeking justice for her son, saying, “I’m committing my life to obtaining justice for my son.”
Bradley was a Northern Arizona University graduate and had recently celebrated his birthday. A fundraising page set up for his family described him as being “known for his free spirit and wild soul.”

A California family experienced a terrifying ordeal during their Labor Day picnic when their 5-year-old son was attacked by a mountain lion. The incident occurred just before 4:30 p.m. on Sunday at the Tapia Day Use Area of Malibu State Creek Park in Calabasas, as reported by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office.
The boy’s family and several other adults and children were enjoying their time when the mountain lion suddenly grabbed the child by the head and began to run.
“Somebody screamed the baby’s name, and his dad started running,” the boy’s aunt recounted.
“The father grabbed the mountain lion with his hands, and he just fought. Then the mountain lion let go.”
The dramatic rescue unfolded in front of about 40 onlookers, some of whom noted that the mountain lion appeared completely unafraid during the attack.
Male mountain lions can weigh up to 150 pounds and measure up to 8 feet in length, making the father’s actions even more heroic.
The boy was promptly airlifted to Northridge Hospital Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries. He was released later that Sunday but had to return to the hospital on Monday due to complications involving his eyes.
Upon arrival at the scene, California State Park rangers and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) officers found the mountain lion crouched in a tree near the picnic area.
The animal was deemed a threat to public safety and was euthanized by a ranger.
Wildlife officers collected evidence from the boy’s injuries, including DNA swabs from the bite marks, which were matched to the mountain lion.
“CDFW and State Park officials are thankful that the family is safe, and the child is recovering and no one else was injured,” the CDFW stated.

Really doesn’t matter what the reason. Shooting someone over a trivial issue puts the blame firmly on the shooter, not the KFC employee, and not the weapon. If this assh*le had hit him with a rock he is still to blame for the incident. What an idiotic reason to injury someone else. I wonder, tho, why somebody didn’t dial 911 before the aggressor got the chance to do ANYthing. Also, quick lesson for the employee; call a cop first and don’t give this fool a target. Didn’t turn out very well. But, I hope you learned that a pissing match doesn’t solve anything. Sure hope there isn’t some kind of loophole that lets this maniac out on bail to hurt someone else.

They need to catch this guy and arrest him on attempted homicide. Stricter laws for criminals who threaten the lives of others needs to be enforced. Hold them without any bail and send them away for a long time. We need prosecutors with a back bone.

Unfortunately there are too many DA’s that fail to prosecute and turn violent offenders back out into the streets

If you take guns away from honest citizens, then only bad guys have guns! Taking guns is not the complete answer. Maybe those fast shooting bullet guns!
All people working anywhere today should have a plan if a violent person shows up at their place of business. What will the call to action be. Practice it! Do a drill weekly!

This just like most violent crimes could be avoided and or made much less likely to happen , if the existing laws are strictly enforced with out the bleeding heart morons whining that punishment are to strict. If the punishment for committing a crime is not detouring people from committing a specific crime then the punishment is not adequate. There are way to many laws. Many laws are redundant but if not applied they are meaningless. When people object to a punishment being to severe it usually is because these same people are in fear of receiving this punishment. And rather than not committing these crimes to avoid the punishment they would much prefer to get rid of the punishment.

These animals were brought up to do this sort of thing. I would bet the animal has been in trouble before, but just got a slap on the paws. He has no control and the media doesn’t help. Goes back to look at Floyd. He is was an animal. You can’t pat these animals on the head and let them go.

The Kid should not have escalated the incident by confronting the “crazy” guy in his car. Nothing would have escalated if the kid got a manager to apologize to the customer!!!

This was undoubtedly an unstable person who had probably showed indications of such and no one bothered to report their observation. Workers, of course, should be cautioned about how involved they should become before calling for law enforcement help.

Why did the worker go outside to confront this obvious irrate customer? 911 should have been called after the brandishing if the firearm. Wishing the worker well but 20.00hr even @ fast food restaurant is not worth your life.

I wonder as well. The worker never should have gone outside. He is as much to blame for his injury as the guy who pulled the trigger. Both are hotheads.

I think training needs to be given to these workers concerning violent customers. Maybe then the worker would have called 911 or at least consulted with his supervisor before going out to solve the problem on his own. Also, I do think there should be harsher laws about assaulting employees of a business. It just shows how “on edge” people are nowadays, but there are just some people who are bullies, especially to younger people, and they should never get away with it. They should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, especially in this case. How about “attempted murder?” or a felony so he can’t have a gun!!!

Sticter Gun Laws is not the answer (its the easy answer for lazy pandering elites).
