Taco Tuesday Drama: West Virginia Man Accused of Shooting at Man for ‘Eating All the Tacos’

A man in West Virginia has been arrested after he allegedly tried to kill someone for “eating all the tacos,” according to authorities.

On Nov. 20, officers responded to a home in Morgantown after receiving a call regarding a dispute, WFTV reported.

Authorities said 53-year-old Dale Lynn Martin got angry with the victim and his girlfriend because they were “eating all the tacos.”

The victims said Martin then allegedly retrieved a .22 semiautomatic rifle from his bedroom, officials said.

The male victim saw the weapon and started running up the staircase, WFTV reported. Martin allegedly fired the rifle, sending a bullet into the staircase.

According to a witness, Martin “called him earlier in the evening” and allegedly said he “just shot at (the victim), don’t think I won’t get the 12 gauge and blow his f****** head off,” according to WFTV.
