Pizza Delivery Driver Dodges Bullets During An Attempted Robbery

MAGNOLIA, TX — A pizza delivery driver’s workday was anything but routine when she found herself dodging bullets Tuesday afternoon.

Montgomery County Sheriff’s investigators said the woman was delivering a pizza to an address in the 29500 block of Tanglewood Road in Magnolia at about 2 p.m., when several men tried to rob her, and shot at her car as she fled.

The woman told deputies she arrived at the home and knocked, and the door was answered remotely.

The man inside the house told her he hadn’t ordered a pizza and told her to leave.

The delivery driver left, and was driving on Highland Blvd when she saw black older model Chevrolet Tahoe coming toward her, and then suddenly swerve to block the road.

Two men got out of the Tahoe, and the delivery driver quickly reversed and turned around as one of the men shot at her car.

The incident was recorded on the delivery drivers personal dashcam, investigators said.

The pizza delivery driver drove back to Tanglewood Road, where she parked her car, and hid under a nearby house and called for help.

Deputies arrived a short time later and search the area, and found a shell casing on Highland Blvd.

Investigators said there were at least three people in the Tahoe, and two people got out of the passenger side wearing masks.

From the video, investigators said the Tahoe’s license plate appeared to be covered with a piece of clothing.
