1 Killed In Shooting Outside Gallup McDonald's

GALLUP, N.M. (AP) — Police in Gallup are investigating a shooting in a McDonald's parking lot that has left one man dead.

Authorities say two men got into a physical altercation at the fast food restaurant Saturday afternoon.

They say one of the men went outside to get the license plate of the other man's car, a Nissan, as he was leaving.

Police say that's when the man driving the Nissan fired three shots and one hit the victim, who later died at a hospital.
