[NYPOST] The shooting that left a Brooklyn McDonald’s worker clinging to life could have easily been avoided – if the customer was just given hot fries, a relative of one of the suspects told The Post Wednesday.
What about the idea, silly as it may seem, that Sonny shouldn't have whipped out his rosco and plugged him.
Michael Morgan, 20, was charged with attempted murder after he allegedly shot the 23-year-old worker outside the Bedford-Stuyvesant eatery when his mom got into a heated spat with the employee over her cold order, police and law enforcement sources said.
His girlfriend, Camellia Dunlap, 18, was also slapped with weapons charges over the Monday night shooting after allegedly handing her beau the gun, sources added.
“I think it would have been solved if one they just gave the lady some hot French fries and let her been on her way,” Dunlap’s 66-year-old grandmother, Debra Dunlap, told The Post.
“That would have been solved right there.”

The ordeal erupted after Morgan allegedly stormed into the restaurant when his mom, Lisa Fulmore, started arguing with the worker – identified as Matthew Jeremiah Webb – over the cold fries, sources said.
Fulmore told The Post in an exclusive interview that the employees had laughed at her when she tried to speak to a manager.
“Why were they laughing at her? Why didn’t they just give her hot French fries? That’s why we go in there to spend our money,” Dunlap’s grandmother said.
“She went back a second time for French fries… and they didn’t give her [hot] French fries again? No one goes into a restaurant wanting cold food when you’re paying your money,” she continued, referring to the worker’s alleged attempt to cover up the cold side by topping it off with a few crispy fries.
“Give people what they ask for,” she added. “If I want some hot fries, I want some hot fries.”
The grandmother conceded that Morgan’s mother could have also called cops to sort out the fast-food spat instead of getting her son involved, who has a lengthy criminal record.
