Police in a Salt Lake City suburb were stunned when they came under gunfire at a McDonald’s drive-thru, not just because of the location of the shooting, but because the alleged triggerman was just 4 years old.
The shocking incident took place on February 21, 2022, when 27-year-old Saddat Johnson wasn’t lovin’ it at McDonald’s. Employees got his order wrong. So he got back in line at the drive-thru, brandished a gun at them, and demanded they get it right the second time.
The shaken employees asked him to pull ahead and park and told him they’d get right on it. What they really did was call the cops.
As officers from the Unified Police Dept. of Greater Salt Lake, Utah, were attempting to arrest the non-compliant Johnson, he reportedly ordered his four-year-old son to shoot them, the investigation shows, though it’s not on the tape released by police.
Thankfully, no one was injured.
The responding officers can be seen ordering Johnson out of his car in the video.
But ultimately they have to get him out of the car. The footage shows a shot being fired as a cop cries, “Gun, gun, gun,” as the officers are placing him under arrest. After then, a policeman cries, “Kid, kid, kid!” There were no casualties from the gunfire.
Police then assist the kids in getting out of Johnson’s car and into McDonald’s.
The Utah Police released the video earlier this week:
While police were struggling to arrest a 27-year-old man for allegedly pulling a gun on McDonald’s workers, a 4-year-old boy in his car fired a gun, causing officers to draw their weapons. The man faces multiple charges, including child abuse.

More details of this incident from The Gateway Pundit via ABC4 Utah report:
The child reportedly told police that he had picked up the gun and fired because he saw them taking his father away and he “wanted his daddy back.”
Following the incident, Johnson claimed to have “blacked out” during the argument with the drive-thru staff and that he did not remember pulling out his gun; however, Johnson can be seen clearly brandishing his firearm in surveillance video, according to court records.
Unbelievably, Johnson also claimed that his four-year-old had previously gotten ahold of a gun in a separate incident, court records show. Because of the jaw-dropping incident and his gross negligence, Johnson was charged with “child abuse, aggravated assault, and interference with an arresting officer,” according to ABC4 Utah.
What the hell is going on? This kid is basically still in diapers and he consciously chose to pick up a handgun and shoot it at the police. Needless to say, it’s completely unacceptable.
Although this incident may be unprecedented, young children being violent towards police officers is sadly not – and it’s becoming more common. Earlier this month, a group of small children hit and kicked a group of officers while calling them vulgar obscenities.
This is what you get with the bogus ‘defund the police’ movement. This is a societal issue.
America is spiraling out of control under the Biden Regime.
