A man was going through the drive-thru at an Ypsilanti McDonald’s Monday when two men approached his car and started a verbal confrontation before one of them pulled out a gun, according to police.
Ypsilanti police Detective Sgt. Thomas Eberts said police responded at 8:15 p.m. Monday to the McDonald’s at 16 Ecorse Road. Eberts said a man was going through the drive through when a vehicle carrying two men came into the parking lot.
Eberts said the man in the drive-thru knew one of the men in the vehicle — the two have a previous history of animosity.
A verbal confrontation between the two men began after the suspect got out of the vehicle. Only words were exchanged and the suspect went back into the vehicle.
The man in the drive-thru reported seeing the suspect pull out a small handgun and point it at him. The man then called police.
Eberts said police have yet to interview the suspect and are in the process of tracking him down. The investigation continues.
