“Gardner threw a drink at the customers as they were attempting to [leave]. Two of the customers got out of their vehicle and opened the drive through window to throw drinks at Gardner who then armed herself with a handgun,” LPD explained a statement on Monday.
Gardner then exited the building while carrying the weapon and fired at least two rounds, one of which struck the victims’ vehicle as they were exiting the parking lot.
LPD officers arrived and arrested Gardner.
