Crews work to repair damages to the Burger King in Morro Bay. (KSBY) 
 
 A Morro Bay Burger King is expected to reopen Tuesday morning at 6:30 after police say a prank call about a fake gas leak apparently prompted employees to smash all the windows. 
 
 On Monday, workers were repairing the estimated $35,000 worth of damages. The fast food chain on Quintana Road has been closed since Sunday. 
 
 According to police, employees received a call Saturday night from someone pretending to be from the fire department, telling them to ventilate the business. That prompted employees to smash the windows. 
 
 The manager on duty even used a car to ram into the building. The owner of the fast food restaurant says that person has since been suspended. 
 
 Anyone with information, pictures or video of the incident is encouraged to call the Morro Bay Police Department at (805) 772-6225 or Det. Mark Martin at (805) 772-6233. ||||| As the shocking video of a Chicago police officer fatally shooting 17-year-old Laquan McDonald is played worldwide, other footage from the scene that night has gone missing. 
 
 Minutes after McDonald was shot 16 times by Officer Jason Van Dyke on a Southwest Side street, several police officers entered a Burger King located just yards from where the teen fell, demanding to view the restaurant's password-protected surveillance video, Jay Darshane, a district manager for the fast-food chain, told the Tribune this week. 
 
 When the police left the restaurant almost two hours later, the video had an inexplicable 86-minute gap that included when McDonald was shot, according to Darshane. 
 
 "I was just trying to help the police with their investigation," Darshane said. "I didn't know they were going to delete it." 
 
 Darshane revealed to the Tribune for the first time that he testified about the missing footage before a federal grand jury earlier this year. 
 
 A technology support employee for Burger King who tried unsuccessfully to recover the video also appeared before the grand jury, he said. 
 
 In addition, the FBI hauled away the restaurant's digital video recorder containing all its surveillance images, according to Darshane, who oversees several area Burger Kings. 
 
 After Cook County prosecutors charged Van Dyke with first-degree murder on Tuesday, federal prosecutors disclosed their probe of the fatal shooting remains "active and ongoing."

 While the restaurant's surveillance system likely wouldn't have caught the shooting itself, at least two cameras positioned to face the restaurant's parking lot and drive-through lane may have captured McDonald's movements in the critical moments before Van Dyke opened fire, according to lawyers for McDonald's family. 
 
 In announcing the charge against Van Dyke, State's Attorney Anita Alvarez said forensic testing revealed no evidence that anyone had intentionally erased the Burger King video. NBC5 News first broke the story about the missing footage. 
 
 "We have looked at those videos and ... it doesn't appear that it's been tampered with," Alvarez told reporters. 
 
 At a news conference at police headquarters hours later, police Superintendent Garry McCarthy called allegations that officers had deleted the video "absolutely untrue." 
 
 "There were apparently technical difficulties," McCarthy said. "But in no way, shape or form is there any evidence that anything was tampered with, and I think (Alvarez) covered that." 
 
 According to court records, moments before he was shot, McDonald had crossed on foot through the Burger King parking lot at 4060 S. Pulaski Road holding a knife in his hand while being tailed by officers who had requested a backup with a Taser. 
 
 Under court order to release the police dash-cam video that captured McDonald's shooting, the city made the recording public Tuesday. A day later, in response to an open records request from the Tribune, the city released four other dash-cam videos from the incident, including one from the squad car that Van Dyke was riding in that night. That video shows Van Dyke's police cruiser approaching the Burger King and McDonald cutting in front of the vehicle as he jogs by the front of the restaurant onto Pulaski. 
 
 The videos, including the one from Van Dyke's vehicle, did not include any audio of officers talking, either in the vehicles or over police radios, raising questions about why sirens outside the vehicles could be heard but voices inside the vehicle could not. 
 
 Lawyers for McDonald's family have said the restaurant's surveillance cameras may have also captured McDonald puncturing a front tire of a squad car on Pulaski moments before Van Dyke and his partner came to a stop and jumped out with their guns drawn. 
 
 McDonald was shot about 2 1/2 minutes before 10 p.m., according to prosecutors. 
 
 Darshane said the restaurant's assistant manager called him that night saying about four or five police officers were inside demanding the password to access the surveillance video. He authorized the manager of the store — who wasn't working at the time — to give the code to the officers. 
 
 The officers stayed on the scene until almost midnight and even brought in their own information technology specialist when it appeared they were having trouble operating the system, Darshane said. 
 
 The equipment had been in perfect working order for weeks before the shooting, Darshane said. But the next morning, Burger King discovered the 86-minute gap when investigators with the Independent Police Review Authority, which investigates police shootings, sought to make a DVD copy of the surveillance video. Missing was any footage from 9:13 p.m. to 10:39 p.m., Darshane said. 
 
 When the video system kicked back on, it recorded two police officers in the Burger King office who appeared to be looking at something on the monitor over and over, according to Michael Robbins, an attorney representing McDonald's family. 
 
 "It is curious," Robbins said. "If they got there and turned it on and found that there was no video, what were they looking at for two hours?" 
 
 In addition to the missing footage, lawyers for McDonald's family have questioned the actions of other officers at the scene moments after the shooting. 
 
 Robbins said several citizens who witnessed McDonald's shooting reported that officers ordered them to leave the scene under threat of arrest without ever interviewing them. Other witnesses reported that detectives later badgered them for insisting that McDonald hadn't threatened officers before he was shot, Robbins said. 
 
 Robbins said one man who was stuck in traffic with his son saw the shooting unfold right in front of him. He followed police orders to leave, but when a police union spokesman later described in television news reports that McDonald had purportedly lunged at Van Dyke with a knife, the man came forward to challenge the account, Robbins said. 
 
 "To tell an occurrence witness who observed a fatal shooting to leave and not even ask them to identify themselves is incomprehensible," Robbins said. 
 
 Robbins said that some of the witnesses were outside the Burger King after the shooting, and the missing surveillance footage would likely have captured their interaction with police. 
 
 A spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office declined to comment on the federal probe of McDonald's shooting beyond its brief statement released Tuesday, but Scott Ando, IPRA's chief administrator, said Wednesday that no citizens later complained to IPRA about their treatment by the police that night.

– Employees at a California Burger King responded less than ideally to a prank call Saturday night, causing $35,000 in damage to the restaurant, KSBY reports. According to the San Luis Obispo Tribune, someone called the Burger King in Morro Bay pretending to be with the fire department. They told employees there was a gas leak and they needed to break out the restaurant's windows immediately for ventilation. The employees apparently did as they were told, with the shift manager going so far as to ram a car into the restaurant. The manager has been suspended, and police are continuing to investigate the incident. Officials remind residents that the fire department will rarely call you directly about an emergency.
