Police have said the boy, then 12, shot Matthew Davis several times with an AR-style rifle in the parking lot of the restaurant in Keene, about 40 miles (64 kilometers) southwest of Dallas. He got the gun out of his uncle’s vehicle and opened fire after Davis confronted the uncle about his “disorderly conduct” outside the Sonic and the two men began to fight, police said.

You know, when I go for Sonic, I sometimes don’t even bring a firearm. I mean, if the soft pretzel is cold, I am disappointed, but that’s no reason to shoot someone.
