Gunshots were fired at a Georgia Waffle House Friday morning over a Facebook post. The fight broke out at the late-night eatery around 5 a.m. local time. The source of the dispute: someone’s relationship status on Facebook.
According to authorities, one group of women was inside the Augusta restaurant when another group of ladies approached. An argument ensued regarding someone’s relationship status on Facebook, and the fight was eventually taken outside where one of the women fired four shots in the air. That woman is now in police custody.
The other women involved fled the scene in three vehicles, all of which are thought to have contained firearms. No additional details about the incident have been released.
This is undoubtedly not the first debate that has ensued from someone changing their Facebook relationship status. Going from “Single” to “In a Relationship” on the site has become a common way to announce a new relationship. If things get complicated there’s a status for that, and breaking up can make just as big a splash on the social network as announcing a new love.
