GREENSBORO, N.C. —
A woman has been charged after a fight escalated into a shooting at McDonald’s, according to officials with the Greensboro Police Department.
On Tuesday, around 8:30 p.m., police said they responded to McDonald’s, located at 3601 W. Gate City Blvd after reports of a shooting.
When they arrived, officers found a 29-year-old who had been shot. Investigators said the shooting victim, identified as Aaquan Butler, tried to rob someone in the bathroom of the McDonald’s. This caused a struggle, which moved into the dining area, where Butler pulled a handgun and it went off.
Officials said Butler was taken to a local hospital and is in stable condition. Butler has been charged with robbery with a firearm, felony conspiracy, conspiring to sell/deliver cocaine, carrying a concealed gun, and possession of a firearm by a felon.
Officials said Heaven White, 22, was also charged with felony conspiracy, aid and abet robbery, conspiracy to sell/deliver cocaine, carrying a concealed gun, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Anyone with information about this investigation is asked to contact Greensboro/Guilford Crime Stoppers at 336-373-1000.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
It is not clear if there was an attempted disarm of Aaquan Butler, or if she simply shot herself as she attempted to draw the concealed handgun.

I was gonna say “the combatants were in McDonald’s, what exactly did they expect to get in a robbery? A few dollar bills?”
But, given the price of McDonald’s today, the people in there might been loaded just too afford a meal there these days

Yes. They were probably of Korean heritage.
Just a guess.

Terrible reporting.
Opening: A woman has been charged ...
Turns out, a man (Aaquan Butler) tried to rob someone.
That man ended up pulling out a gun.
The man, being a dumbass, managed to shoot himself at the McDonald's.
And, oh, by the way, that man (Aaquan Butler) had an accomplice. Who was female.
So, the really important thing is, A woman has been charged

It was a drug deal gone bad....dealers often carry large amounts of cash as well as their product, which makes them a target for robbery which is also why they are usually armed......at least I did when I was a young idiot doing this nonsense.
But I had more sense than to do a drug deal in a crapper with only one egress in a fast food joint.

Aaquan is likely a male. The headline is misleading. Two idiots involved. Aaquan and Heaven. Both had weapons. Both were dealing coke. Aaquan was shot after he tried to rob someone. Heaven was arrested and charged. Aaquan was charged and will likely be arrested upon his release from the hospital.
