Shocking doorbell footage shows the moment a New York town official shot and wounded a DoorDash delivery driver who had stopped to ask for directions.
John J. Reilly III, 48, an elected highway superintendent in Chester and a federally licensed firearms dealer, is under investigation for shooting the unidentified 24-year-old driver in the back when he stopped outside his home on May 2 after his phone died, according to New York State Police.
Disturbing video first obtained by News12 shows Reilly walk out his front door and fire multiple shots at the delivery driver’s car in the street after he’d approached multiple homes in the wooded neighborhood looking for directions.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
“unidentified 24-year-old driver”
We would already know who it was if this person wasn’t DEI.
This guy is a blithering idiot. Just because you can conjure up a threat in your head doesn’t mean it’s reasonable, much less imminent.
The mug shot says “I was worried I may never get to shoot a black guy in the back despite having all these guns in my sleepy suburb”. —Good luck in jail, bro.
The worker was hit once in the back as he attempted to flee in his car, according to New York State Police.
“I need help,” the West Africa native begged in another neighbor’s doorbell camera moments earlier, according to WABC.
—maybe get that knee-jerk looked at. :)
“multiple shots at the delivery driver’s car in the street”
Was a blood test of the shooter’s blood done?
No party affiliation mentioned for the “town official.”
Whaaa... ?!
There’s a doorcam pic of the driver. Looks to be white.
The driver was trying to leave, so the official had no reason to feel in danger of his life. I think he is trigger happy and needs to cool his feet in jail for a while.
That said, the delivery driver should have found a place to charge his phone before he picked up the meal so he could use the GPS instead of knocking on everyone’s door in the dark. But that doesn’t merit being shot in the back. If NY didn’t allow so much crime in the first place, people wouldn’t live in so much fear.
Wow... that’s an amazing place for your brain to go in this story. Scary.
Just doing the low-paid, wage-suppressing, zero-skill service jobs for Wall Street and tech billionaires that Americans refuse to do....
It’s been reported elsewhere that this guy is/was an FFL, and caught a bunch of gun charges in addition to the whole attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon thing.
Plus, if you look at the video, and right before he fires the warning shot into the grass, he racks the slide to chamber a round, which indicates that he couldn’t have been all that worried about any threat that the door dash guy was, theoretically, presenting.
Hot mess all around, makes one wonder about chemical enhancements that might have been in play.
This guy should go to jail!
Attempted murder!
He shot directly at that car as it was turning around to leave!
What a complete DB! He deserves anything he gets.
I’d also sue him civil court
A new idiot is born everyday.
Johnny’s gonna go to jail
dooh daah
dooh daah
I was a dasher for 3 years because I couldn’t take a job with a schedule while caring for my mom. If I couldn’t find an address after using GPS I called the dispatcher and canceled the job. This young man may have been new. So terrible.
I think this guy over did it just a bit.
That was a bizarre shooting. The driver was leaving, and clearly no threat. There’s no way he can claim he feared for his life.

Definitely needs a felony charge and conviction. He doesn’t have the temperament to own a gun.
