Shot in the Dark

More Of This

Minneapolis delivery driver with a (apparently) permitted handgun gives carjackers a significant emotional growth experience.

The driver was making a delivery to one of the Abbott buildings at 29th and Chicago, when the ne’er-do-wells made their move:

“My dad was making a delivery at Allina hospital earlier today and almost got carjacked, the suspects got scared and ran when my dad pulled his gun on them. One of them had a pistol and was tapping his gun on the passenger side window while his friend was trying to force open the door. [I’m] glad I convinced my dad to carry especially with how crazy crime is.”

Video shot from victim vehicle. Suspect is the one that backs out of frame to the right.

The video leaves a bit to the imagination.

The part I’m having the most fun imagining…

SPOILER ALERT

…is the discussion the two punks had with the getaway driver who peeled out and left them running on foot away from an armed man.

But it’s fun to imagine.

    So the driver had one of those good paying jobs where your life is in danger so you are paid to carry a gun?
    And his employer covers liability if he shoots someone?

    I’m betting a good voice analyst would be able to suggest very strongly what neighborhood the perps came from. I’d also guess with MP that the driver’s employer might not be super keen on his self-defense.

    All Allina hospitals and clinics are posted. I wonder if the perps took this in consideration when they were scouting for victims and prey. It’s possible I suppose that he disarms before going into the their buildings. Alliant workers and patients don’t have much of a option short of going elsewhere.
