SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) - Police in Spokane are investigating the fatal shooting of a man early Monday in a McDonald’s parking lot in the northeastern part of the city.

Police were called to the restaurant about 1:15 a.m. by a woman who reported that her friend had been shot.

The Spokesman-Review reports that officers arrived within four minutes of the call and found the victim in a car, but were unable to save him. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police said Monday that they had detained three people and that one of them, 27-year-old Christian J. Robinson, was booked into jail on a second-degree murder charge. It wasn’t immediately known if he has a lawyer.

The McDonald’s was closed Monday morning while detectives investigated. The investigation continues.
