The owner of an Alabama Chinese restaurant named "Good Friend" allegedly shot at a customer who complained about a bug¹ in her eggroll 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，唱片） and eggroll from the Good Friend Chinese and Seafood² restaurant on Dennison Ave. Thursday evening. After paying her $7 bill she went back to her car and discovered a roach inside. "I thought I need to take this back," she said.

 

The customer went back and asked for a refund³ 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 bail⁴,

 

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 uncommon⁵ for stores in that neighborhood.

 

No one was injured from the gunshot, Edwards said.

 

Calls placed to the restaurant Saturday afternoon were not answered.
