Pizza delivery driver shoots attempted carjacker 6 times in Philadelphia<\/a><\/p>\n

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — An attempted carjacking suspect was seriously injured after a pizza delivery driver fought back against his attacker on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

It happened around 7:38 p.m. when the 39-year-old delivery driver was dropping off food on the 3300 block of H Street in the city’s Kensington section.<\/p>\n

“I was just remodeling my kitchen and talking to my son, and he was about to come out the door, and as soon as he went to open the door- that’s when we heard the shots,” neighbor Eric Howard told Action News.<\/p>\n

Police say the delivery driver was approached by a 23-year-old man who pointed a gun at the male victim and demanded he get out of the car.<\/p>\n

“The driver of that car- when he saw that this male was pointing a gun at him, demanding that he get out of the vehicle – brandished his own firearm, which he was legally allowed to carry,” said Philadelphia Police Inspector DF Pace.<\/p>\n

The victim, who police say has a license to carry, grabbed his own gun and shot the suspect six times.<\/p>\n

“Th guy was licensed to carry a gun and defended himself,” Howard said.<\/p>\n
