Armed Citizen® Today

A pizza delivery driver in Kensington, Penn., defended himself when a man allegedly attempted to rob him on Jan. 27, 2022.

The 39-year-old driver was outside a residence delivering an order just after 7:30 p.m. that Thursday evening, when a man approached him. As the stranger got closer, he produced a gun, aimed it at the driver and demanded his car. Yet, unknown to the crook, the driver was also armed.

The driver rapidly drew his own firearm and opened fire. He shot at the crook several times, with some of the rounds finding their mark. When police arrived, they found the stricken would-be carjacker suffering from multiple wounds, and he was taken to a local hospital in critical condition.

An armed man standing in the door fired at the resident, who returned fire. In the ensuing struggle the homeowner fatally wounded the man. (The Tribune, Salt Lake City, Utah)
