Original Story
CLAIRTON (KDKA) ― “A couple of Clairton teenagers who planned to hold up a pizza delivery man picked the wrong target. When one of them pulled out a fake gun, the driver whipped out the real thing.
Someone called Uno’s Pizza last Thursday, placed a $30 order for two pizzas and a hoagie and had it delivered to the Century Town Homes neighborhood on Lincoln Avenue.
Matt Lasich, the driver, spotted the would-be robbers when he arrived at about 9:15 p.m. One of them vanished behind what appeared to be a vacant house and the other confronted him.
Lasich says the boy pulled out the toy gun and pointed it at his chest. When he tried to get back to his car, the teen tried to get into his pocket where the driver kept his loaded .40 caliber pistol.
Lasich, who has had a license to carry a gun for the past five years, pulled out his weapon and the teen ran away.
He says this is the first time he’s had a problem like this since starting his job last August.
Clairton Police are investigating.”
