A pizza delivery driver fought back at a group of suspects who tried to rob him, pulling out a gun and wounding one of them.
Greenville Police say the incident happened early Monday morning at 1105 A Masters Lane when the Chanellos Pizza driver said three suspects began hitting him as he was delivering the pizzas. Police say the delivery driver then pulled out a gun and began to fire. One of the three robbery suspects was struck. Elvis Deans Junior, a 17 year-old student at South Central High School, is listed in stable but critical condition. He'll be charged with Common Law Robbery and Assault Inflicting Serious Injury.
Police also arrested 18 year-old Thomas James, 18 year-old Sunil Persaud, and 17 year old Kevin Haynie all of Greenville. They are charged with common law robbery. Police also say they charged a 14 year old who they say planned the crime.
The pizza delivery driver was taken to the hospital and was treated and released.

I can't beleive all the crazy people here in Greenville. The kids did not pull a gun on the Pizza man. Why would it be alright for the pizza man to pull a gun? Maybe he should have been carrying Mace?? The pizza guy needs to be locked up for attempted murder. The kids need to be locked up for attempted robbery. The comments on this site are typical of backwards/backwoods thinking of the people of the area. When Obama is elected president, maybe he can appoint Supreme Court Justices that will make this illegal. Just look what the Republican led administration has caused.
BANG
Proof that the MSM are doing their job well...
Greenville, SC or Greenville, NC?
Supreme Court justices are not supposed to MAKE LAWS. Congress does that. Hmmmmmm...perhaps you left high school before taking either American Government or Civics.
Oh... and since the pizza delivery man was outnumbered, he had every right to defend himself with his gun.
Greenville, Ms?
So, an Obama supporter wants the USSC to “make this illegal” - ie, for the Judiciary Branch to make a LAW that people may not defend themselves from criminals.
I didn’t make it clear that my post was aimed at the Obama supporter and not you, Dog. ;-)
Give the kid a medal, and a payraise ...
or Greenville, Tx.
Two 18 year olds and two 17 year olds have their crime planned by a 14 year old. Wow. These guys must be geniuses. Or maybe the 14 year old is a criminal mastermind:
"Hey guys, let's order a pizza, and when they come to deliver it, we rob him! How can it possibly go wrong?!?"
To the moron asking why the pizza delivery guy had to use a gun, I offer him this proposition. I'll give him a gun and a can of Mace and put him in a small room. I will then enter the room with a knife. Let's see which one he pulls to defend himself.
Poor pizza driver - he’ll probably be fired.
North Carolina. Home of ECU.

Nah, it’s not Pizza Hut, Papa Johns, or another big chain full of wusses who are afraid of lawyers.

Let's see - the guy only had 4 or 5 attack him. No reason to get all uppity and self-defensive...it's not like they meant any harm...
I always hope these empty headed Socialists find themselves, one day, in the same situation - so's they'll get a taste of what it feels like.
Of course, if they're true to their stated beliefs, not many would live to talk about it...
