Question

The owner of an Alabama Chinese restaurant named “Good Friend” shot at a customer who complained about a bug in her egg roll Thursday night. The bullet narrowly missed 20-year-old Birmingham resident Jatari Walker who told the Daily News she is scarred by the entire experience.

       “I can’t sleep ” she said Saturday afternoon. “And since it happened I’ve had no appetite.”

       Walker ordered a combination platter（大浅盘） and egg roll from the Good Friend Chinese and Seafood Restaurant on Dennison Ave. Thursday evening. After paying her $7 bill she went back to her car and discovered a fly inside. “I thought I need to take this back ” she said.

       The customer went back and asked for a repayment and said the owner Chun Hin Ching 52 was unhappy with her because she announced her discovery in front of other customers. After an argument he repaid the money and Walker — who is now a former frequent customer of the business — turned and walked to the exit.

       That’s when Ching drew a handgun and fired a single shot over her head.

       “He just shot the gun at me and I ran ” she said adding she could feel the bullet whiz past her head.

       Birmingham Police Department spokesman Lt. Sean Edwards told the News the owner was charged with attempted murder and was transported to Jefferson County Jail on $100 000 bail（保释金）.

       Police believe Ching intended to hit Walker with the bullet and missed Edwards said. The bullet hit the top of the door frame of the take-out business.

       Ching did not tell police why he fired at Walker Edwards said.

       Edwards said he did not recall any previous problems at the business. He said Ching did not say why he had a weapon but added it was not uncommon for stores in that neighborhood.
