AMN: A Domino’s pizza delivery driver fatally shot an armed 16-year-old teenager who was attempting to rob him Saturday.
According to authorities, the delivery driver was in the 1400 block of Springwood Drive near Mesquite Metropolitan Airport about 11:20 p.m when teenager and another suspect confronted him. The house that the driver was delivering pizza to was vacant.
One of the robbers fired a handgun at the driver, who returned fire, while the two fled. One of the two robbers was shot and found nearby but later died.

I hope the delivery guy was black. LOL.
LOL. Yeah, but if he’s light-skinned, he’s in trouble anyway.
Domino’s suspends delivery person for protecting his life.
I can only assume that Dominos has a policy of providing medical care and funeral services for their deliver people when they are robbed at gunpoint and shot.
Since when is a pizza more valuable than the person delivering it?
No more Domino’s for me or my family.
Domino’s was never very high on my pizza list. Now they’re on my sh!t list. This sort of thing really pisses me off.
Awww, shucky darns, another bad apple gonzo.
I thought Texas was a constitutional carry state, maybe not. I wouldn’t let my kids, or anyone I cared about deliver pizza, work in retail sales, or drive a cab or……..
Pizza Delivery person is like up to number two on the most dangerous jobs list. No joke.
There’s no end to the liberal asswipes defending the scourge of what ails America.
As I was between careers I delivered for Dominos. My friend owns several stores and I drove out of his newest “flagship” store in a mostly nice part of town. There were bad areas we had to deliver at times, too. Drivers had to sign a form agreeing to not have any guns or knives in vehicles or on your person. I signed it but always had my pistol strategically placed. It was the best I could do apart from having it on me, which just couldn’t be done. I drove for about a year. Right before I departed the job we had a driver get jumped. Same scenario: order is called in to be delivered at a vacant house, two guys emerge from the shadows. He fought back and jumped in his car and was ok, but very shaken up. I do know of two other instances where one guy was killed and another took a bullet while standing on the porch.
It was a real eye opener for me in many ways. Would never let my children do that job. I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night knowing they were out on the roads late at night delivering. They don’t have to, thankfully.
Most large companies have anti 2A policies in place and
I’ve never heard of ANY national chain that explicitly
allows a delivery employee to carry a weapon. It’s a
virtual certainty that this driver was carrying in spite
of Dominos corporate policy and thus “broke the rules” and
must be punished. To corporations employees are NOT people.
They are items to use to generate revenue and are if necessary disposable. If that means you get murdered on the job tough. The only companies that are CCW friendly tend to be privately owned. I’d tell Dominos that since they value pizza over the lives of their employees I don’t need to patronize them anymore. If enough people do this AND TELL these companies why they are doing so things will change.
The bottom line is all that matters. Want a company to hear you? Hurt their bottom line.
This is just Companys covering their own asses and they know it.
Let’s see, getting robbed and shot or fired, I can’t decide it’s so confusing?
Don’t worry the cops will come by and do an nice investigation, drawing a nice line around your body and then off to the donut shop.
Had he not broken the rules, Dominoes is pleased to announce he was honored posthumously with the ‘delivery under 30 minutes or it’s free’ award.
“Teenager”
I bet I can describe him.
Piss poor shot, only offing one dindonuffins.
Gone to soon.
Not too bright of Domino’s, since the only real reasons for their pizza is you are starving and they’ll bring it to your door.
Why buy from Dominoes, Papa John’s, or any of the other assembly line pizza places when you have a local Mom-and-Pop place that delivers REAL pizza? Unless they are the only place in town that delivers. Too, you could always stock your freezer with “Tony’s” for those, uhh…altered state of consciousness hunger emergencies that occur from time to time (time to cook frozen pizza most likely faster than delivery).
Dominoes policy is not much different than the police. No one goes to work the next day , like nothing happened, after shooting someone on the job.
The idea of not caring guns as policy, though, only relieves the company of the legal burden that comes with self-defense – at the risk of the employees’ lives.
The part that bothers me the most about the story is the dude might be charged for not having a carry license.
That bill that just got out of the house committee and onto the floor for debate in Texas, needs to be passed.
If it does, there wouldn’t be anything to charge this dude for, pending an investigation of whether it was justified or not.
May I be one of the twelve?

I’ve never heard a corporate charter say that.

Because a state law modifying other state laws, supersedes an amendment to the federal constitution?
I’m thinking there’s a lesson to be learned here – stop trying to rob people!
Fuck Domino’s.
Love their pizza but refuse to buy them because of shit like this.
If they want to give em away, then just GIVE EM THE FUCK AWAY!
