McDonald’s worker shoots female colleague inside restaurant — before being gunned down by cops

A McDonald’s employee in California opened fire on a female co-worker and a police officer Monday before cops shot him dead.

Jonhatan Anguiano, 29, entered the San Joaquin County store around 9:30 a.m. with a semi-automatic pistol.

He fired multiple shots, injuring a woman employee. Investigators said the motive behind the shooting remains unclear.

Police released a surveillance photo showing Anguiano wearing an employee uniform and a long black sleeve on his right arm, moments before he was killed by responding officers.

The Lodi Police Department officers encountered the injured woman at the scene. Authorities said Anguiano opened fire on an officer as police closed in, forcing them to shoot him.

“The suspect was ultimately pronounced deceased on scene,” the Lodi Police Department said. The injured co-worker was also rushed to a local hospital and is currently in a stable condition.

The San Joaquin County District Attorney’s Office is leading a multi-agency investigation.

“I was in the drive-thru at the cashier window when the shots were fired. I heard 4 shots being fired inside. Scary times,” said Cheryl Marie Steneck.

Lodi City Councilmember Cameron Bregman, who lives just a block from the McDonald’s, called the shooting both unacceptable and alarming for the local community.

“Lodi is a very small town, and so there’s about four or five stories already circling. Right. The best thing I can do is let the police do the work and let the police release the reports,” Bregman told KCRA.

Lodi police is urging anyone who witnessed the shooting or may have information about the incident to contact Detective Blythe at 209-333-5545.
