FRANKLIN, Tenn. (WKRN) – A Franklin homeowner is in jail after they allegedly shot at two delivery drivers dropping off a package.
Officials said one of the drivers was heading to meet the other driver after dropping off a package at a home on Ann Crockett Court. He was performing what’s called a rescue, which happens when one driver is running behind on deliveries and another driver comes to take some of the load.
The drivers were driving for Jay Express, a third-party service contracted with Amazon.
