• Harris, 39, who had worked at the restaurant for 15 years and was the sole provider for her six children, died at a hospital from her injuries.
• A drive-thru customer fired a warning shot to halt Muhammad’s escape and held her at gunpoint until Eastpointe police arrived.

• Days before the attack, Muhammad posted videos on Instagram accusing her manager of bullying staff, an alleged precursor to the deadly confrontation.
