A customer shot the 43-year-old woman inside the Wingstop on the 7600 block of City Avenue around 5:20 p.m., according to police. The woman, who was working at the time, declined to be taken to the hospital because it was "not a serious injury at this time," Philadelphia Police Inspector Michael Gormley said.
A group of male customers got into a "verbal altercation" with the worker before one of the customers threw a bottle at the employee and then fired a shot as they were leaving, Gormley said.
