A Utah father was charged with two felonies after his 4-year-old son used the man’s handgun to shoot at police outside a McDonald’s in Midvale last month.
Charging documents state the father initially pulled the gun on an employee after he received an incorrect order in the drive-thru.
The employee told police that the father then grabbed his handgun from the passenger seat and racked it, ejecting a bullet. He then put the gun down and continued to argue, she said in court documents, but she closed the drive-thru window and called police, fearing that he may shoot her or others inside. The father then hit the drive-thru window and picked up the gun again, she said.
The two children remained in the car. That’s when his 4-year-old son grabbed his father’s gun “because he wanted his daddy back,” according to charing documents. The father told police that his son has taken the gun before. He said he didn’t teach him “bad things about the police” but just told him to “keep away” from officers if possible.
