An 18-year-old Domino’s delivery driver was shot at multiple times after he parked in the wrong driveway while dropping off food at a home in Tennessee, police said.
Caiden Wheeler told officers he was delivering pizza to a home Monday on North Poole Street in Ashland City, about 25 miles northwest of Nashville.
"The victim stated that he thought he was parked in the right driveway but when he got out to deliver the pizza the next door neighbor ...flagged him down," a criminal complaint states.
Wheeler said he walked through the yard, delivered the pizza and got back into his truck.
As he was pulling out of the driveway, Wheeler said he heard gunshots and saw someone "running at him and shooting at him," according to the complaint.
He said he quickly backed out of the driveway and sped off. Police said there were three bullet holes in his truck: one on the driver’s side by the gas tank, one above the driver’s side window and another in the front driver’s side wheel and tire.
Authorities arrested Ryan Babcock, 32, in connection with the shooting. Wheeler was delivering the pizza to Babcock's neighbor, according to the complaint.
Babcock told officers that he and his wife saw a truck park in their driveway on his doorbell camera.
He said he saw someone running from his vehicle to the truck and thought the person was trying to break in. Babcock said he went outside and "began shooting at the truck" to "disable" it, the criminal complaint states. Babcock allegedly admitted to officers that he shot at the truck multiple times.

The teen told CBS affiliate WTVF of Nashville that he thinks Babcock should have been charged with attempted murder.
"I was literally about to get killed right there," he said.

I AM TOTALLY PERIMETER FENCED WITH CHAINS ON THE GATES.
“This food delivery is crap. Go get your own.”
Better make your own! You never know if some one in the kitchen dragged their nuts in your gravy!
” I’ve had people come into my house and immediately pull out their phone. What did they come to my house for? Silly me - I thought it was to visit!”
With an attitude like you posted no wonder!
**When I was a kid, we lived in a house that was on a corner for a couple of years.**
Where was the house before and after it “was on a corner for a couple of years”?
(lol)
“”With an attitude like you posted no wonder!””
Guess it can’t be too bad if they still come to see me, right?
I take it you believe life should be shunted to the side in favor of letting electronics rule your life. OK with me.
“Guess it can’t be too bad if they still come to see me, right?”
People that visit me don’t pull out their cellphones!

This site is social media. Better unplug your internet connection!
He’s going to love being in jail for decades. Very deserved as well. No more guns for you. What a goof.
I don’t think he’s voting for a very long time.
Maybe he self-diagnosed himself with “Can’t read numbers” syndrome
Some people lose their minds about their property. They will go psycho if you even park in front of their house.
HA! If you don’t know the difference, I don’t know what to tell you. Did you take a picture of your dinner to post on FR?
“I don’t think he’s voting for a very long time.”
Depends on the 2024 elections.
Why do I have the feeling that not many people visit you??
“HA! If you don’t know the difference, I don’t know what to tell you.”
If you knew the difference you wouldn’t be posting personal rants here.
The use of deadly force was not warranted. The shooter’s life was not in imminent danger. Take a class and save yourself some heartache and mucho dollars to defend yourself from a bad shoot.

The only thing the delivery man did wrong, other than getting the houses confused, was to deliver in an unmarked vehicle. Most pizza places will give their driver a big bright sign to place on top of their cars so that there is no doubt where tbey came from. That signs will often be lit up.
The deserving bastard likely had pineapple on the pizza.
