They demanded that the assistant manager on duty at the time turn over all the restaurant's cash. Nervously, the 19-year-old assistant manager explained that all the cash had been deposited in a safe in the manager's office and that he had no ability to open it. Angry at their inability to rob the restaurant, the gunmen shot two of the restaurant workers, including the assistant manager, as they fled the restaurant.

A lawsuit filed by the assistant manager's parents charged that the restaurant lacked proper alarms and locks on the back door. In addition, they charged that the restaurant owners and the franchise company failed to provide any training to its staff regarding the proper response to an armed robbery.
