The driver told deputies that she had been delivering pizza to an address on Tanglewood Road. When she arrived at the house, the homeowner answered the door by remote, said he had not ordered a pizza and told the driver to leave his property.
As she left the faux delivery destination, the driver told authorities she saw a dark Chevrolet Tahoe heading towards her when it suddenly turned and blocked the road in front of her. Two people got out of the car wearing ski masks and started walking towards her, one holding a handgun.
Authorities believe there were three people inside the vehicle.
The driver attempted to reverse her vehicle and said she heard a gunshot. She managed to drive down the road and hide under a house where she called 911. The delivery car had a mounted dashcam, which provided video that authorities released to the public.
