WEST MELBOURNE -- Investigators say a Brevard County pizza delivery man takes action into his own hands -- shooting and killing a would-be robber.
Investigators said a Domino's employee had just delivered a pizza to one of the rooms at the Days Inn off US-192 near Interstate 95.
Agents said after delivering the pizza just before midnight, the driver went back to his car, sat down and starting counting his money and tip, waiting for his next call for a delivery.
Thats when investigators said a man approached him with a knife, demanding money and threatening to kill him.
At that point the delivery man, who had a weapon in his vehicle, pulled his firearm, shooting the robber one time and at this point the robber is deceased and were continuing our investigation, said Maj. Tod Goodyear from the Brevard County Sheriffs Office.
Investigators have not released the names of the would-be robber or pizza delivery driver.
The sheriff's office said no charges are being considered right now.
The hotel's general manager said the company has no comment.
Brevard bang
Bump to come back for more information when it is available.
Local for me too.
I hope the delivery guy doesn’t lose his job now...but at least he’s alive to lose it
“No charges”? YET.......
If the dead perp was black, the race baiters won’t wait more than a day to start demanding charges for some dumb reason.
I love these early morning happy endings.

Now for the dreaded part. What was the racial makeup of the delivery driver and the deceased robber?
Every time a pizza delivery guy gets fired for shooting in self defense, there should be a social media offensive against the corporation announcing a boycott on his behalf.
Did not it say in the article?
Perp was black, dunno about the pizza guy yet.
It's one of the most dangerous jobs around.
May everyone who tries to rob a pizzaman die in the same fashion.
Score another point for civilization!
Don’t bring a knife to a gunfight.

Sounds like everything from “that point” to “this point” went well.
Excellent report.
Don’t forget today is Starbucks “Skip Starbucks Saturday” boycott day for the anti-second amendment crowd.
I plan on visiting, buying an item, and leaving a 2 dollar tip, telling them it’s for Starbuck’s respect for laws that recognize our 2nd amendment rights.
I hope you will too.

So, occurred at a Day’s Inn off I-95.....boy there’s a place a pizza delivery guy must hate.
The article does not mention race at all so we can assume with high probability the dead perp was black or an illegal.
Leni
email Domino’s!! I just did and told them they need to reward this driver, not punish him.
