Attempted carjacking suspect shot by pizza delivery driver: police

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A pizza delivery driver on his first day on the job shot and injured a man trying to steal his car and rob him. The incident happened outside a Chestnut Hill apartment complex just before midnight on Tuesday.

The 21-year-old man was delivering pizza when two armed men in masks forced him into the back seat of his vehicle, demanded money, and attempted to take his car.

According to the business where the driver works, the suspects placed an order to the apartment complex on the 7700 block of Stenton Avenue and then attempted to rob the driver.

"At one point, the 21-year-old delivery man was able to get out of the vehicle and confronted one of the perpetrators who had a gun and the 21-year-old delivery man, we know, fired at least two shots," said Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small.
