A pizza delivery man shot 3 people this week during an armed robbery attempt in East Charlotte.
According to police, the incident occurred at around 11:50 pm on January 20th at an apartment complex off Magnolia Hill Dr. While in the process of delivering a pizza to one of the apartments, the victim recalled 4 men approaching him with 1 of them pointing a rifle at his head. He told police that he then pulled out his pistol and fired several shots, hitting 3 of the men.
