A pizza delivery man was attacked and injured Sunday night by two assailants, but he fought back, firing a pistol at them, according to a news release by the Pennington County Sheriff's Office.

Deputies responded to a call of shots fired at 1980 Country Road about 10 p.m., where they found Scott Parsons, 28, who reported he had been attacked while making a pizza delivery in the area.

Scott's injuries were not life-threatening, and he was taken to Rapid City Regional Hospital.

Authorities say they have no confirmation that anyone was hit by Parsons' gunfire.

The Pennington County Sheriff's Office and Rapid City Police Department are investigating the incident.

Can he do that? It doesn't seem fair; he's supposed to be unarmed.

Pizza guys are on the front-line of law enforcement. Police come second.

Never bring a pistol to a pizza fight?

I deliver pizza as a second job, and it is very fun (I like to drive fast). I’ve almost been robbed once over the last year, and I’ll be applying for my CCW this summer.

The wife and I have stayed in Rapid City on vacation a number of times over the last eight years. We never thought it had much of a crime problem. I guess we were wrong.
