Showing Original Post only (View all)Tennessee Homeowner Opens Fire on Pizza Delivery Driver After He Parks in the Wrong Driveway [View all]
https://atlantablackstar.com/2024/05/21/tennessee-homeowner-opens-fire-on-pizza-delivery-driver/Initially, Ryan Babcock, 32, only faced one charge of aggravated assault after he allegedly fired seven shots at 18-year-old high school student and Dominos Pizza employee Caiden Wheeler on April 29, according to local reports.
But a week later, on May 6, a Cheatham County grand jury handed down new charges against Babcock, including attempted second-degree murder, aggravated assault, three counts of reckless endangerment, and vandalism.
After pulling into the driveway, Wheeler proceeded to deliver the pizza, but before reaching the front door, he noticed the homeowner next door trying to flag him down, and thats when he realized he was at the wrong place.
Wheeler quickly hustled over to the right house but left his truck in Babcocks driveway for the time being.
After making the delivery, Wheeler walked back onto Babcocks property to leave.
Thats when Babcock appeared with a gun, firing multiple times, police said.
Authorities said one bullet nearly hit Wheeler, who sped away and called police.

I'll bet he doesn't order pizza from them. No telling what special toppings will be added.

Yeah. When you're glued to some loudmouth on the radio yelling about how "they're coming to get everything you own!"

Is Tennessee a stand your ground state? If so, I have to wonder how the jury will rule.

Even in stand your ground states you can't execute someone for breaking in your truck
