Server and two customers got into a row at the Little Red Barn Steakhouse in San Antonio
Witnesses say the patrons were angry he had messed up their food
The customers started 'beating' the waiter before he managed to get away
A short time later, he came back with a gun and opened fire
Chaos descended on the venue, known for having waiters carry fake guns
They now all face criminal charges for their part in the altercation

The waiter could lose his job, as the venue has a no-gun policy.
(Well, at least he’s not in trouble for firing the gun - but it is Texas)

2. Funny

"A short time later, he came back with a gun and opened fire...The waiter could lose his job"

I laughed when I read the word "could"...

18. Did the restaurant have one of those cute little signs?

"We don't call 9-1-1" over a silhouette of a revolver? Why call the cops when folks can handle a dispute with the responsible use of firearms?

19. It probably had a cute state-required gun-ban sign -- which worked mar-r-rvelously.

20. It needed a

"Please don't beat our staff" sign too

4. So employees are not

allowed to carry guns on the premises? Does that mean customers are allowed to carry them?

5. See? Guns make us a more polite society, just like the NRA says...

[liberal N proud]

12. Yes, Yes they do and don't let the NRA tell you otherwise

Oh, wait, the NRA is telling us that more guns makes us safer.

DOH!

8. Not the best possible dining experience ...

from a customer service point of view.

9. You mistyped the title

It is actually

SAPD: Waiter fires shots into ceiling inside Little Red Barn Steakhouse

Not saying that it was appropriate action but it is significantly different than opening fire on the customers.

[NaturalHigh]

10. I'm guessing that was probably intentional.

[sarisataka]

17. It seems to be

An honest error
The OP corrected it

[left-of-center2012]

14. Thanks. I used two articles ...

I used the headline from one news article, and then saw another I liked better to quote from in the 'body'.
I should have changed the headline, and have now done so.

[sarisataka]

15. I credit your integrity

And am glad I gave the benefit of doubt.

I will delete my folowup post

11. The NRA approves this gun mayhem

The NRA solution?

MOR GUNZ!!!!!

[exalted circles]

16. i always beat my waiter if i do not like the food or service !!

you need to keep people in line,once they know their place they do better,only wuss`s call management or leave

[Buckeye_Democrat]

21. Well, at least the waiter didn't shoot at people.

That's a silver lining, I guess.

The gunshots might have acted as a natural "colon cleanse" to remove the compacted matter in their intestines too.

[Ilsa]

22. The customer had the waiter in a headlock.

Other customers reported that the unsatisfied customer started the fight.

23. Locking

Local gun crime stories are not allowed in GD.

[pinboy3niner]

25. When you announce that you're locking, it's a good idea to, you know, lock
