A pizza delivery driver shot three of four suspects who tried to rob him during a late-night delivery, police in North Carolina said.
The man said he was delivering a pizza at an apartment complex in east Charlotte late Monday night when he was approached by four suspects who pointed what appeared to be an assault rifle at his head, according to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.
The driver then pulled out his own pistol and fired at the suspects, causing them to flee the scene, CBS affiliate WBTV reported.

Officers said they quickly tracked down three of the suspects, including two with gunshot wounds. A fourth was located at a nearby hospital after he was dropped off for treatment. All three wounded suspects are expected to survive.
Police say a 15-year-old and a 16-year-old were charged as juveniles with robbery with a dangerous weapon and conspiracy to commit robbery. Toybyus Banks, 18, and Nemiah McInnis, 20, are facing the same charges as adults.
Officers said they later determined that the object the suspects used to rob the delivery driver was actually a toy rifle painted to look like a real firearm.
Needs more range time
“Toybyus ... and Nemiah”
No need for pictures. Obviously aspiring rappers beginning to turn their lives around.
All the pizza joints we frequent are within a couple of blocks and I pickup.
I see plenty of delivery drivers though.
Pickup is another reason to check on another building I use for pet projects.
The good citizen deserves a $1,000 bounty reward per each lawbreaker shot. Crime would drop like a rock if good behavior were rewarded against bad behavior.
Is that slang?
But he might get some dates out of his jail sentence :)
IKR. Strange name. Glad the pizza delivery guy is ok.
Nope, just made it up.
Seems appropriate though.
“No anchovies? You’ve got the wrong man, I spell my name...Danger”
In cHarotte or any other dim'o'crap majority city in NC, the correct moniker is "We's-B-Toyz". d;^)
Yeah!!
Waiting for pics of perps...not that I’m expecting anything to stand out...
“My name Kunta!”
“Your name is Toybyus!”
As Meat Loaf (could have) said:
“Three out of four ain’t bad.”
Don’t bring a pepperoni pizza to a ... no wait.
“Toybyus” and “Nemiah”
‘Nuff said.
Toybyus and Nemiah. Going way out on a limb that I don’t have to look.
Liberal solution: outlaw paint.
Toybyus was up late studying to get into Duke Medical School. He just needed a pizza snack to keep going.
