ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - A Wendy's employee in north St. Louis is wounded after a dispute with a customer.

It happened at the Wendy's near Union Boulevard and Natural Bridge Avenue just after 1 a.m. Tuesday, which was shortly after the restaurant closed.

Police say the suspect shot the male employee twice in the back. The victim was rushed to a hospital and is reportedly expected to recover.

Fox 2 reports that a "dipping sauce dispute" led to the shooting. The aggressor was allegedly upset that he requested extra sauce and didn't get it, so he shot into the store.
