Police say at least eight shots were fired into the window and they have arrested 32-year-old Samantha Anthony for the shooting.
SAN ANTONIO — A San Antonio woman has been arrested for shooting at least eight times into a downtown McDonald’s drive-thru window, back in December.
Police say employees ran behind walls and others shielded themselves behind equipment. No one was hit during the shooting, but it left employees shaken.
“I heard the first shot I kind of like had a late reaction I was just kind of like and then whenever the other shot started ringing out that’s when all of us in the front started ducking and sliding,” an employee said.
Video given to us by a former employee, who was working at the restaurant during the shooting shows the aftermath as police investigate. The employee says several shot did make it through the window.
The shooting happened around 5 a.m. on Dec. 30 at the McDonalds at 1330 South Laredo Street. The woman working the drive thru says a woman, now identified as 32-year-old Samantha Anthony, ordered food picked it up and drove away.
30 minutes later, the employee says Anthony drove back and was screaming at employees that she didn’t get her order.
“When I was talking to her, and I noticed that she had the wrappers on her lap. I was just like, can I see the bag? Because I noticed the bag. (She said) You didn’t give me a bag either, even though I could see it on her lap,” an employee said.
The employee says they tried to tell her they did give her the food. The manager checked the video and verified, Anthony was handed a bag of food, but kept insisting she didn’t. This went on for about another 30 minutes, according to the employee.
Employees then say Anthony’s boyfriend showed up and also confronted employee’s about ignoring his girlfriend.
“She was hopping from the first drive through window to the second window, banging, talking like yelling,” an employee said.
After more arguing, and a challenge to come outside and fight, shots rang out.
“Oh shoot, like she shot, so I kind of was I mean, I was crying, I was scared, I was having a panic attack,” an employee said.
Police say Anthony drove away in a gold 2011 Cadillac SUV and with the help of video surveillance and photos, they were able to identify her.
Anthony was arrested and booked into the Bexar County Jail and is facing a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
