A 4-year-old child fired a gun at police officers on instructions from his father during a dispute over a food order at a McDonald’s drive-thru in Utah on Monday, officials said.
The shooting took place at a McDonald’s in Midvale, just outside of Salt Lake City, when a man flashed a gun at fast-food workers during an argument about his order, according to Unified Police Department of Greater Salt Lake.
Sadaat Johnson was at the drive-thru with two children in the backseat when an argument ensued. Johnson, 27, pulled over and waited for workers to fix his order.
But instead, the employees called the police.
Officers arrived and were able to remove Johnson, who was being uncooperative, from the vehicle.
While he was being apprehended, police said the dad instructed the 4-year-old child, who was still in the vehicle, to shoot the officers. Cops said they saw a small arm and hand holding a gun appear from inside the vehicle door.
A police officer hit the gun as it fired, forcing the bullet upwards where it hit a restaurant awning.
No one was seriously injured in the incident, although the officer who hit the gun received a small injury on his arm.
The second child was 3 years old. His connection to the other suspects was not clear Monday night.
The man, whose identity was not immediately released by law enforcement, was taken into custody. Officials have not announced what charges he faces.
It’s unclear whether the child was released into a guardian’s custody or if the Utah Division of Child and Family Services responded.
Sadaat Johnson ? Sounds like your typical BLM ( black looters matter) protester , no doubt ! His kids should be taken away from him.
How did this moron get a gun in the first place? Is Utah a constitutional carry state? At any rate, this proves Ron White’s assertion that “You can’t fix stupid”.
Should be 3 Damn Niggers on the pavement, dead , including the 4 year old !
Good Nigger is a Dead Nigger !
if the adult was never taught any thing . who showing the kids just because you can make kids should you?
the “dad” should be publicly executed, no trial, and do it now. bring a stop to this kind of b/s.
