INDIANAPOLIS -- Two would-be robbers and a pizza delivery driver exchanged gunfire early Thursday morning after the men tried to rob the worker, police said.

The incident happened at about 12:30 a.m. in the 2000 block of Bosart Avenue.

Indianapolis police said a driver for Aunt Polly's Pizza was met by two men on the front porch who demanded money and food.

One of the men fired a shot at the driver, but missed. The driver also had a gun and fired back.

Indianapolis police said they don't think either suspect was struck, but the men haven't been found.

The owner of the pizza shop said that he started having all his drivers carry guns while on deliveries about two years ago.

A sign that reads, "Warning, We Don't Dial 911" is posted inside the business.

Wow! A pizza business that has all its drivers carry guns and defend themselves. This could be a trend!

Without reading the article I’d have given odds this was Detroit or LA.

“The incident happened at about 12:30 a.m. in the 2000 block of Bosart Avenue.”

Hoo-boy. I know that area of Indianapolis. You’d better believe I’d be packing if I was delivering to that area at 12:30 am. It’s not as bad as Haughville or The Meadows, but it’s not a place I’d wanna be caught unprepared, either.

Aunt Polly’s is good pizza, btw. I remember having it when I used to visit my aunt (her name wasn’t Polly, btw) in Indy back in the late 80’s.

The perps are probably Amish— this is Indiana.

Yep, probably rode down from Nappanee.

Either the Amish Assassins, Mennonite Marauders, or the Hutterite Hostiles!

That’s too bad.

That driver needs to find the time to make it out to the range.

Practice. Practice. Practice.

Yeah, well in Martinsville the fact that the two perps had not been found would be considered proof that they had been struck.
