US | Subway Worker Shot for ‘Two Much Mayo’

Killing one employee and injuring another, a US man who complained there was too much mayonnaise on his sandwich opened fire at an Atlanta sandwich shop, according to police.

The shooting happened around 6.30pm on Sunday at a Subway restaurant attached to a gas station in downtown Atlanta. Police said the man argued with the two female workers before shooting them.

"This was a very tragic situation that did not have to occur," Atlanta police Deputy Chief Charles Hampton Jr. told reporters Monday.

He said a 36-year-old man believed to be the shooter was arrested Sunday evening after someone whom police are not identifying provided them with information. Hampton said police are not immediately releasing the suspected shooter's name because of the ongoing investigation.

"It just breaks my heart to know that someone has the audacity to point a weapon and shoot someone for as little as too much mayonnaise on a sandwich," restaurant co-owner Willie Glenn told WSB-TV.
