Saturday night around 11:30pm an Uber Eats driver delivered a meal to the 30-year-old Ryan Thornton. After receiving the food Thornton began to walk away from the vehicle when words were said to have been exchanged between he and the delivery driver. Shots were then fired from the vehicle hitting the customer. After fleeing in a white Volkswagen, sources were not able to identify the suspect. In a statement, Uber Eats announced that they were devastated by the news. The company claims to ensure that everyone has a safe and reliable ride, explaining why they enforce the rule that Uber prohibits riders and drivers from carrying firearms of any kind while riding in a vehicle and using the app.
This is very alarming. As someone who uses Uber Eats, this is eye opening and will make me more aware during my future orders. I wonder how Uber plans to enforce the no firearm rule because in this case the rule was not able to keep customers safe. I hope they find a way to ensure this does not happen again.

I also wrote about this... It is so sad and scary. I agree, and hope they can find a way to make the no firearm rule more enforced for the safety of the customers.
ReplyDeleteThis is terrible and I hope Uber makes new rules to prevent this from happening again.
ReplyDeleteI think this is terrible and devastating to all Uber eats customers. It scares me because Mrs. Countryman gets uber eats as well. I wouldn't want to lose someone due to a tragic situation like this.
ReplyDeleteThis is just another reflection on the necessity of increased gun control.
ReplyDeleteHow can you relate this to history?
