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.
What - you mean he missed one????
Back to the range.
[Nice shootin’, Tex.]
Yes. At least he got 75% of his assailants.
Carlos?
“Wha—what?” (Hangs up) “They never come up in the hills.”
pizza delivery driver delivers something hot...

But, but...it was just a prank.... /sarc
Ah, yes, Third Eye.
I hesitate to suggest it, but maybe he could change it to “Toby.”
In New Jersey he'd be under arrest for the crime of self-defense, facing more jail time than the perps.
It’s like Toys ‘R’ Us, only different.
Like WeBeToys, you mean?
Three out of four is not too bad
