If it really happened like this, then Honeycutt is going to be in a lot of legal trouble. He shot a disarmed man. I'm not saying that he should be in trouble, just that I expect that he will be.
The radio just said that the prosecutor is considering charges. But I'm confused about how many guns were involved. They just said the Pizza Hut guy had a gun permit and the serial number was filed off the gun used.
The driver was quoted as saying that he'd rather be fired than dead.

Delivery driver shot suspected robberMay 18, 2004
Marion County sheriff's deputies were investigating reports late Monday night that a pizza delivery driver shot someone who tried to rob him.
The man believed to have been the robber was found on the ground in a Far-Eastside housing complex, while the delivery driver turned up at the restaurant where he works a couple of miles away.
The shooting was reported at 11:04 p.m. Monday in the 3600 block of Long Wharf Drive by residents who heard gunfire and said they saw a Pizza Hut delivery vehicle driving away. The wounded man, who lay near several shell casings, had chest wounds and was initially reported in serious condition.
Six minutes after the shooting was reported, deputies found the delivery driver at the Pizza Hut restaurant at 8932 E. 38th St. Inside the delivery vehicle were two guns that may have been used in the shooting.
Deputies were looking into reports that the delivery driver and the robber exchanged shots, or that the two fought over a gun and the robber was then shot.
If he was close enough to disarm the robber, then the robber was close enough to be a risk to the deliveryman, whether or not the robber still had his gun.
