Charges laid in restaurant gun scare
Police have officially laid charges, after a man allegedly brandishing a paintball gun sent a group of Calgary McDonald’s customers into a panic.
More than 30 people pushed, screamed, and stepped on one another attempting to exit the restaurant inside the Marlborough Wal-Mart Wednesday night.
A Good Samaritan wrestled the weapon out of the man’s hand before police arrived.
