Customer kills Atlanta Subway worker, injures another after mayonnaise argument: cops

An Atlanta Subway worker is dead and another is seriously injured when a customer began shooting in the store after arguing about how much mayonnaise was on his sandwich.

Police said the incident occurred around 6:30 p.m. Sunday in the downtown restaurant.

The deceased employee, 26, and the injured worker, 24, were both women. The second worker was rushed into surgery in critical condition. A 36-year-old man was arrested Sunday night after witnesses gave police information, but no other information about the victims or suspect was released.

The owner of the store, Willie Glenn, told Fox 5 that the woman’s child was in the store at the time of the shooting. He said both women had only started working at the restaurant recently.

He told the station that the restaurant manager was also armed and shot at the suspect but did not hit him.

“I don’t know what the world is coming to especially with our youth. They seem to be so hot headed,” Glenn said. “Everybody wants to carry a gun. Everybody wants to scare somebody with a gun. It’s scary out here.”
