On June 14, 2024, around 1:00 a.m. LakelandPD officers responded to a shooting which occurred at McDonald’s, in the 700 block of East Memorial Boulevard. Both parties were on-scene when officers arrived. The dispute began in the drive through when the customers/Victims felt their order was incorrect.
The employee, Chassidy Gardner (age 22), argued with the customers at the drive through window. Gardner threw a drink at the customers as they were attempting to leaving. 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.
The customers drove around the west side of the business and Gardner walked outside the business with her gun to argue further. While still outside, Gardner fired her weapon as the vehicle was leaving the parking lot and the Victim’s vehicle was struck at least once. Gardner was arrested for Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon.
