A waiter near Paris has been shot dead by a customer reportedly angry that his sandwich was not prepared quickly enough. Police have launched a murder investigation after the incident on Friday evening in the eastern suburb of Noisy-le-Grand.
Ambulance crews attempted to save the 28-year-old waiter, who had been shot in the shoulder, but he died at the scene. Colleagues told police the customer lost his temper at the pizza and sandwich shop due to the length of time it took to prepare his meal.
One 29-year-old woman told French media: 'It is sad. It's a quiet restaurant, without any problems. It just opened a few months ago.' However, some residents noted an upsurge in crime in the area, including increased drug-dealing and drunkenness on the streets.
