A Texas man says a stranger directed racist insults at him before pointing an assault rifle at him and his girlfriend in a Chick-fil-A parking lot.
Kenneth McGaha pulled into the Henderson restaurant’s drive-through last week, CBS News Texas reported. An employee asked him to wait for his order.
“The guy told us, ‘It’s going to be a minute on your shakes; can you pull up and we will bring them right out?’” McGaha said.
He moved his vehicle to let another car leave the line and parked in a space he later realized was designated for handicapped drivers. McGaha said that just after he received his food, an unidentified man approached his car and reached inside, making racist remarks about the parking choice.

“Like he was calling me ‘boy,’ saying I shouldn’t be here. Get your A-word over there,” McGaha said. “The next thing I know, I felt an arm like a brush coming across my head.”
McGaha recorded part of the encounter, which included racially charged comments, CBS News reported. The situation escalated when the man allegedly returned to his truck and retrieved an assault rifle.
“I really thought me and my girlfriend were dead, because it was just up close range,” McGaha said.
The confrontation ended without reported physical injury. McGaha drove to the Henderson Police Department and filed a report.
The father of three said he did nothing to provoke the alleged attack and hopes authorities will press criminal charges.
Henderson Police confirmed they are investigating the incident.
