McDonald’s franchisee Lanny Sumpter told The U.S. Sun in a statement: "The safety and wellbeing of my customers and crew is paramount to me as a business owner, and I am shocked and disturbed by the actions of this employee.
"Violence of any kind is never tolerated in my organization, and the employee has been terminated following a number of organizational policy violations.
"We will continue to work with law enforcement in their ongoing investigation."
McDonald's locations have seen their fair share of violence lately, with numerous attacks occurring in or outside their premises last month.
In late May a McDonald's customer was attacked after a man went on a violent rampage in an AMC movie theater before moving on to the fast-food chain.
Four young girls were stabbed by a man at the movie theater in Braintree, Massachusetts in what police say was an unprovoked attack.
The suspect then allegedly fled the scene and traveled to nearby Plymouth where he is believed to have attacked a patron at a McDonald's rest area.

Cops were then involved in a high-speed chase which ended in a crash before arresting the suspect.
Around the same time, a man in New York City was stabbed in both legs in a machete attack in Times Square outside a McDonald's.
