Police open murder inquiry after customer attacked waiter at a pizzeria on the outskirts of Paris.
French waiter shot dead for being 'too slow with sandwich', say witnesses.
A customer fatally shot a waiter at a pizzeria on the outskirts of Paris, apparently enraged at being made to wait for a sandwich, according to witnesses.
The waiter’s colleagues called police after he was shot in the shoulder with a handgun in the Noisy-le-Grand suburb, 15km east of Paris’s city centre on Friday night.
The gunman, who a witness said lost his temper “as his sandwich wasn’t prepared quickly enough”, fled the scene.
With the shooter still on the run on Saturday, shocked residents gathered outside the pizza and sandwich eatery.
Others noted high crime levels in the area, notably drug-dealing and public drunkenness. »
