Aventura police spokesman Chris Goranitis told local media that the driver had picked up a passenger about 5:30 a.m. Sunday when a minivan cut him off near the Aventura Mall. Goranitis said a robber emerged and pointed two handguns at the driver.
Goranitis said the Uber driver pulled his own handgun and fired shots that killed the robber. Two others inside the minivan sped away and are being sought.
Goranitis said the Uber driver had a concealed weapons permit. Neither the driver nor his passenger was injured.
Aventura is a coastal suburb between Miami and Fort Lauderdale.
Help! Gun control now! Lol
And that, my liberal readers, is why we have a second amendment. Imagine the scenario now if the driver hadn’t had a gun. He would have been robbed and possibly worse. Now a bad guy’s off the planet and two more will hopefully be put away.
What idiots, other then the car, the Uber driver doesn’t have any valuables like cash on him. Probably they were jacking his Escalade.
