Welcome to America where guns are easier to get a hold of than the latest Star Wars toys.
Around 7 p.m., a man drove up to a valet attendant and demanded to get his money back. When the valet told the armed man that he did not have his money, the man took out a gun, shot the valet in the stomach and drove away, police said.
The victim, who has asked co-workers not to be identified, is said to be in critical condition.
The shooting stunned diners who clamored for shelter under tables. One person ran through the restaurant and told people to get on the floor.
It was very loud. My ears started ringing immediately and I knew it was a large gun, not a pistol, said witness Erin Quill, who was eating dinner on the patio nearby. The gentleman next to me had small a child and threw a table over him like a fort.

This country has gone fucking insane. We're far far worse than even the 'wild west' where there was gun control in that firearms weren't allowed inside most city limits.
