MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WREG) — Police are searching for a woman who reportedly opened fire on employees at a southeast Memphis restaurant after she became upset about the food wait time.

The Memphis Police Department released a photo of the apparent suspect in the incident.

On March 30, officers responded to reports of a shooting at a Burger King restaurant in the 5300 block of Winchester Road. Employees stated that a customer became upset about the wait for food and started a verbal altercation while standing in the drive-through.

The workers fled the scene through a back door. They were not hurt, police said.

The suspect was accompanied by a male who was the driver of the gray sedan.
