"My guys were defending some young ladies that were being harassed waiting in line to go into the bathroom," said owner Grace Keros.
Keros owns the iconic eatery that will have been around for a century come this May. The chaos in the coney happened at 3 a.m. Sunday Jan. 8.
Keros says the men harassing the women attacked her employees when they stuck up for them - then the brawl and shortly after the gunshot.
"Some guys pulled up in some party bus and come in and saw a whole bunch of people fighting and you saw, decided to pull a gun out and shoot into a crowd."
When he did, a 19-year-old employee was hit. Keros says he's okay but this is not.
"I'm not going to put up with it and that stuff is not going to happen here," she said.
Keros is putting her money where her mouth is, beefing up security by hiring off-duty Detroit cops to make sure things don't get out of hand.
"It's actual police officers in uniform with a gun and I will be having them here," she said. "I've already hired them. They started last weekend and I'm paying for it. and I'm so happy to do it."
