A gun was fired a Dominos pizza delivery driver around 3 p.m. Sunday afternoon, following a failed robbery attempt in Palm Coast’s P section.
The driver told deputies that she got lost trying to find her way back to Belle Terre Parkway, after making a delivery, when she saw two men on Powder Hill Drive. When she stopped to ask them for directions, one of the men lifted his shirt to display a handgun, she said. Then he demanded money.
The victim said the second suspect then began to run toward the woods, at which time she threw her car into reverse to escape. As she was backing away, the first suspect fired a single shot into her vehicle, and the bullet struck the LCD screen on the radio in her center console.
The driver then fled the area. She stopped at a parking lot on Palm Coast Parkway to call the police.
The driver was not injured during the incident.
Patrol deputies, assisted by a Sheriff’s Office K-9, searched the area for the suspects, who were not located. The suspects were described as 18 to 20 years of age. The man with the handgun was described as a Hispanic male, approximately 5-feet-6-inches tall, with light facial hair. The second suspect was described as a light-skinned male, possibly Hispanic.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office, at 313-4911, or Crime Stoppers, at 1-888-277-TIPS. Tipsters will remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward up to $1,000.
