A 31-year-old man allegedly fired a gun into a Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant in Washington, D.C., Wednesday, and injured his coworker who he'd been arguing with, police said.
The victim and the alleged shooter, Craig Jermaine Peacock, of Southeast, are employees of the Buffalo Wild Wings on Half Street in Navy Yard. They were arguing before Peacock left the restaurant, a witness told officers, according to a police report.
Peacock then stood outside a window, drew a weapon and fired into the restaurant at about 7 p.m., police said.
The gunfire hit the other employee, the police report said. The gunfire also shattered a window, leaving shards of glass on the ground.
