Lakeland police officers responded to a reported shooting at the fast-food restaurant around 1 a.m. The shooting stemmed from an argument between Gardner and a customer complaining about their order at the drive-through window. 

During the dispute, Gardner threw a drink at the customers as they were attempting to leave, police said. At one point, a customer stuck an arm through the window and knocked some items onto the floor.
