Grumpy is actually correct. In most jurisdictions, you can make a legal inference from his actions that the dude had intent to kill. My guess is there were other reasons that the prosecutor charged it the way he did. He is probably leaving room to tab charge it later and force a plea.

One of the lesser known parts of the Patriot Act is no one can be charged with murder or attempted murder on a McDonald's property without also charging McDonald's with the same crime for serving McDonald's food. As you can imagine, most prosecutors don't want to get into that fight.
Having an argument with someone shouldn't be a life threatening situation, unless... you know.
And he was shot in the arm, obviously he realized that it was not life threatening. The deed was done, if you're already in the restaurant with your food in front of you, why not sit down and eat it?

" He has been charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon"
Why not attempted murder? I'm pretty sure when you shoot someone you're trying to kill them. Right?

The people that get out of the way are the smartest. Don't use a gun unless you absolutely have to. Too much hassle.
