Pizza guy delivers despite gunshot wound
Profiling this year's leading candidate for the Congressional Pizza of Honor. Edited for brevity.A robbery attempt and a gunshot wound to the leg didn't stop a Tampa [FL] pizza delivery man from making his deliveries Saturday night. Thomas Stefanelli says it was "dedication" that drove him to deliver four pizzas after being shot in the thigh. Stefanelli says a man in a Halloween mask approached him, pointing a gun and demanding money, when he mistakenly stopped at a vacant home. Yes, it's always a good idea to stop and talk to someone in a Halloween mask... in June. He was shot in the leg as the two men struggled. He says his attacker fled to a nearby house. Stefanelli says his cell phone wasn't working, so he drove to his next delivery address to call his boss. He then made three more deliveries before being taken to a hospital. "Here's your thin-crust pepperoni and cordite!" "I didn't order extra sauce...?" "Oh, that's blood--sorry!" An X-ray showed no serious damage. The bullet had stopped in 37-year-old Stefanelli's back pocket. Is that a bullet in your pocket, or... ? Posted by: Dar 2005-06-07 |
