An angry customer who was reluctant to pay his  bill fired several shots into a Hooter's restaurant in Knoxville, Tennessee, leaving a manager and a customer in critical condition Saturday.

Police were searching for the man, who left on foot just after midnight, Knoxville Police Department Lt. Kenny Miller said.

Managers asked the man to leave after he refused to pay his bill, according to Miller. The man went outside and started firing shots from a .40-caliber handgun at the building, Miller said.

A customer leaving the restaurant and a manager inside were in critical condition at the University of Tennessee Medical Center.

The gunman was described as 6 feet tall, 180 pounds with a slender build. He was missing his front teeth, according to Miller. He wore blue jeans decorated with rhinestones, a black jacket that featured a design of what was thought to be a skeleton made of rhinestones and he wore heavy jewelry and large-gauge earrings. He carried a backpack.
