MIAMI (AP) — Police say a man upset he couldn't order food after closing time at a Miami Taco Bell shot at employees as they tried to leave, hitting one in the leg.

Police say the man waited in the parking lot and opened fire around 3:40 a.m. Tuesday. Investigators are still searching for the suspect, and the victim's name was not released. She was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Employees had earlier told the suspect the store was closed, but the man continued to demand food. The man waited outside near the front of the restaurant until workers were getting ready to leave.

Police say that the manager then asked him to leave again, and the suspect fired, hitting another employee. Witnesses reported hearing six shots.
