Event description

Employee fatality due to gunshot wounds

Investigation abstract

At approximately 12:27 p.m. on April 19, 2024, the employee, a 63-year-old male, was on his way home in the company delivery vehicle after completing his rounds for the day. As he pulled onto his street, two individuals attempted to rob him. During the robbery, both assailants pulled guns, and the employee, who was legally permitted to carry a concealed weapon, fired shots in self-defense. The employee sustained fatal injuries from the gunfire, but not before shooting both robbers-one of whom died from his injuries, and the other was arrested. The trauma caused by the gunshot wounds led to the employee's death.
