Man in chicken suit shot in drive-by shooting

Robert Hatter may never want to step into another chicken costume again after what happened to him. He was helping promote a local hamburger restaurant - dressed in a chicken costume - when he became the victim of a drive-by shooting.



"I thought it'd be kind of neat to be in a cow outfit, but I'm too fat couldn't get in a cow outfit," Hatter quipped. "A chicken was just appropriate and I have a sign out side that says eat more beef!"

While he was outside of the Burger Barn on Central and Zoo strutting his stuff, a car pulled up beside him. A man leaned out and fired two shots. "As he faced me, he pulled his shirt up, then *pop* *pop* and kept going! They didn't even slow down."



Hatter was shot in the thigh by a pellet gun. "Apparently they didn't like chicken!" Hatter suffered minor injuries and was back at the Burger Barn less than three hours later. "Lucky is the wrong word. I'm very fortunate. Very fortunate." Police are still looking for the people responsible.
