Wed May 01 07:33:27 18-year-old pizza delivery driver shot at 7 times after driveway mix-up ASHLAND CITY, Tenn. (WTVF) - An 18-year-old pizza delivery driver in Tennessee was shot at multiple times while on the job after he accidentally parked in the wrong driveway. Caiden Wheeler, an 18-year-old high school student, is still processing what happened to him Monday night in Ashland City. The Domino’s employee was on his first and only delivery of the night when he was shot at seven times after parking in the wrong driveway. “Nothing close to what I thought would happen on a delivery, I’ll say that,” Wheeler said. “‘Cause I was literally about to get killed right there, so it’s attempted murder in my opinion.” On the quiet, residential North Poole Street, most of the houses are only a few feet from each other. Wheeler accidentally parked at 114B instead of 118, which is next door. He dropped the pizza off at the correct house and got back in his truck. Police say that’s when 32-year-old Ryan Babcock used a handgun to shoot the driver-side below the gas tank, the wheel on the driver-side and right above the driver-side window. Police recovered seven shell casings at the scene. “I understand keeping your firearm, trying to protect your family, but I don’t think you should automatically just shoot at somebody because they pulled in. I don’t think that’s right,” Wheeler said. The suspect told police he thought someone was breaking into his car, so he went outside and started shooting. Wheeler’s car wasn’t marked, but he was in a Domino’s uniform and had a pizza delivery bag. “I do believe if you have reasonable cause, sometimes you got to do what you got to do. But in certain cases like that, I don’t think that was a reasonable cause, and therefore, I don’t agree with it,” Wheeler said. The delivery driver and his family think the charge should be attempted homicide, rather than aggravated assault. Police say the district attorney set the charge. Babcock was released on bond after his arrest. His arraignment is set for June 12. http://www...7-times-after-driveway-mix-up/
