A 12-year-old Texas man is charged with killing a fast food worker with an AR-15 rifle when he was arguing with another man, who is also charged with the fatal shooting, authorities said.
The shooting took place Saturday night at a Sonic drive-in restaurant in the Dallas suburb of Keene, Keene police said. Officers arrived and found Matthew Davis, 32, with multiple gunshot wounds.
