Police: Uber driver fatally shoots would-be robber
AVENTURA, Fla. — Police say an Uber driver fatally shot a would-be robber who tried to ambush him near an upscale South Florida mall.
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.
