Joppa Woman Saves Pizza Delivery Driver After Shooting
Officials charged a man with attempted murder after a shooting in Joppa. A grandmother provided refuge for the victim in her home.
JOPPA, MD — The Harford County Sheriff’s Office has arrested a suspect accused of shooting a pizza delivery driver Saturday night. Deputies responded to the 300 block of Ellsworth Place in Joppa just before 7:30 p.m. for a 911 call about a shooting.
The person who made one of the 911 calls was Karen Rollins, a customer who ordered dinner for her two grandchildren from Papa Johns. “I looked outside. I saw the pizza box, so I opened the door to get the food, and there was a young man out there jumping around,” Karen Rollins said. “So I asked him if he was okay . . . and he said, ‘Ma’am, can you help me? I’ve just been shot.’”
