  • People at a popular tourist spot in Osceola County were running for their lives Wednesday night after deputies say a Checkers employee shot and killed a customer over a fast-food order. The restaurant was still closed on Thursday as crime scene tape blocked off the drive-through. Osceola County deputies arrested Elijah Mackey, 23, on Thursday in connection with the shooting.

The incident occurred when the shooter, after arguing with the woman, left the restaurant, returned armed, and opened fire.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is handling the case, and the McDonald's location was closed following the tragedy.
