AVENTURA, FLORIDA — An Uber driver turned the tables on an armed criminal, fighting back and possibly saving both his and his passenger’s lives. <br /> <br />WSVN reports that the driver had picked up the passenger from a condo in Aventura, Florida just before 6 a.m. on Sunday. <br /> <br />The two were on the William Lehman causeway en route to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Airport when a Dodge Caravan minivan carrying two people abruptly cut them off. <br /> <br />A man jumped out of the vehicle and aimed two guns at the Uber driver, demanding he hand over his belongings. <br /> <br />Instead, the driver pulled out his own weapon and fired shots at the suspect. <br /> <br />Seeing his accomplice dead, the minivan’s other passenger got behind the wheel and quickly drove away. <br /> <br />Police later located the vehicle, and are reportedly questioning a person of interest. Whether or not it’s one of the suspects is unclear. <br /> <br />The Uber driver was revealed to have a concealed carry permit, and will likely not be charged. His Uber driving days might be coming to an end though, since the ride-sharing app expressly prohibits drivers and riders from carrying firearms when in a vehicle.
