Video footage came to light showing a shocking argument that took place at a Burger King in Glensdale, Arizona.

During the incident a customer and several employees took their dispute into the parking lot, and it eventually turned into a shooting. It all started from an alleged racial slur, as reported by The Blaze.

How did it all happen?

The video surveillance obtained by KSAZ-TV, shows an angry customer arguing with the employees inside the restaurant, after shouting at them in the drive-thru.

The police have revealed that the customer was identified as 22-year-old Dakota Kern. She was riding in the car with a friend who was picking up a Postmates order from the Burger King.

The suspect claimed that a racial slur was used towards her friend by one of the employees. They reacted by starting to throw objects at them. One employee got hit by a flying item.

And it was not the end of the argument. The dispute continued in the parking lot. Kern tried to leave, but the employees from the Burger King went outside too, in an attempt to take a photograph of her license plate.

That didn’t sit well with the suspect at al.

The video shows the moment when she took out a gun and opened fire. She even chased one of the employees around the back of the restaurant, according to The Blaze.

The good news is that no one got hurt in the incident.

Kern was taken into custody at her home. She faces eight charges for the Glensdale incident.
