Officials say Jackson was waiting for his food at the Taco Bell on Middlebelt Road in Livonia when he got into a heated argument with an employee who had just gotten off work. Jackson was reportedly upset about the language he overheard the off-duty employee using during a phone call. Police say the two did not know each other.

The 44-year-old was given his food and asked to leave by the manager.

Investigations revealed Jackson left the store when asked, but came back to the area approximately 30 minutes later. This is when he fired several rounds at the Taco Bell from across Middlebelt Road, striking the building and vehicles that were driving by.

Police say no one was injured.
