MPR reported it was a middle aged white guy who made a comment to a group of Somali girls after seeing an EBT card being used for a purchase. Words were exchanged, it escalted and somehow a gun was introduced. Didn't say if he showed it in the holster, removed it from the holster, brandished, pointed- no detail. The manager at the establishment is catching heat from CAIR spokesperson for not handling things "approproately".

I haven't read that anyone, beyond the group of people who escalated the incident, saw a gun.
It would appear the EP Police have yet to charge anyone.

A Somali teenager said she confronted a white man at a McDonald’s in Eden Prairie over what she took as an ethnic slight and that he responded by waving a handgun at her and other young people before leaving.

Eden Prairie police said Tuesday they were investigating the altercation, which happened about 8 p.m. Monday at the fast-food restaurant on Prairie Center Drive in the heart of the city’s sprawling retail district.

A 45-second video circulating on Twitter starts at some point after several young people got into a confrontation with the man that led to him being shoved.

The man stumbled backward and out of the door. At that point the teens quickly backed away, and several people shouted that the man was holding a gun. A gun cannot be seen in the video. A police report said the man allegedly pulled the firearm from his waistband.

A manager then stepped in and ordered the young people out of the restaurant....Jihan Abdullahi said she was the teenager who first drew the ire of the man as she tried to pay for an order.

Abdullahi, 17, said she and a friend both tried in vain to pay for an order with an app on their smartphone as the man stood behind them.

“Once we gave up on paying, we just canceled the order,” Abdullahi continued, “and as [we] are walking away, the man says under his breath, ‘You were paying with EBT; that’s why it didn’t work.’ ”

EBT is short for electronic benefit transfer and refers to government-funded food assistance.

Abdullahi said she responded, “ ‘Just because I’m black you think my friends and I live under EBT?’ And he said, ‘Yes.’ ”

As other young people, also Somali, stepped in, “The man pulls out his gun and begins to say, ‘Whoa, whoa,’ and everyone backs up, and he runs out the door,” Abdullahi said.

The video shows the manager on duty directing everyone involved out of the restaurant, an order that Abdullahi said she and the others did not follow. Instead, she said, they waited a few minutes until police arrived and conducted interviews.

Omar Jamal, a Twin Cities community activist and head of the Somali Human Rights Commission, said he was troubled that “the store manager ordered them to leave in spite of the fact there was a man” outside who was said to have a gun.

“If I were the manager, and you were in there and mentioned the word ‘gun,’ then I have to go out and make sure there is no gun before I kick you out,” Jamal said....

Seems it was a bit more than verbal by some...

After watching the video I would not want to be the manager of that McDonalds.

At 8:01 p.m. Monday, Nov. 19, Eden Prairie Police received a 911 call regarding disorderly conduct at the McDonald’s located at 598 Prairie Center Drive. The reporting party mentioned a large group of people were causing a disturbance and stated one individual displayed a gun before leaving the restaurant.

Arriving officers located several juveniles inside the restaurant. Witnesses reported a verbal altercation between an adult male and a juvenile male, during which the adult male reportedly displayed a gun before leaving the scene.

At approximately 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 21, police arrested Lloyd Edward Johnson, 55, of Eden Prairie under probable cause for second-degree assault. Johnson is in custody at the Hennepin County Adult Detention Center. The case will be referred to the Hennepin County Attorney’s office for a charging decision.

Over the course of the investigation, several witnesses have been interviewed and video recordings of the incident have been reviewed. Cooperation from McDonald’s and many tips from the public have also assisted the Eden Prairie Police Department with this case.

The investigation remains active and no further details are available at this time.

CAIR is linked to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, I trust nothing they say.

Didn't Ep ban gun shops?

Middle age white guy is screwed for being a middle age white guy. No place for them in New California.

As far as I can tell, this guy is still in custody. Suppose the thanksgiving weekend holiday prevented him from court hearing and making bail? Saw another video from the mcdonalds that showed him. He was acting like a douche. Should have minded his own business and walked away. Falls into the play stupid games and win stupid prizes category.
