"He got a call to deliver pizza like normal," says Escambia County Sheriff's spokesman Glenn Austin, "When he arrived on the scene there wasn't anyone at the house"
It's a familiar story for pizza delivery drivers according to Austin, "They get a phone call and they go out to the area and it turns out to be a bogus address and the next thing you know you're surrounded."
And that was what happened to Pressley except the group that surrounded him pulled guns and opened fire.
Four bullets struck the windshield. Both windows on the drivers side of the car were shattered. The rear passenger window on the other side was hit. As many as half a dozen shots rang out as Pressley ran for his life. He was hit three times.
"This was the first time that I've known of an incident on Sonnyboy Lane." Joseph Benson lives across the street from where it happened and it's got him worried. "Anytime crime take place and some innocent person is the victim of that crime it does make you wonder what direction the community as well as other areas that have these kind of problems are moving in."
Pressley is being treated for gunshot wounds to his head, neck and right hand. The search is on for those responsible.
Sacred Heart Hospital is not releasing any information about Pressley's condition. His grandmother told News Five, he was doing okay.

I say STOP delivering in these HIGH crime areas! Furthermore, I think it would be wise if you had to pay upfront for the pizza by using a debit card or check. Saves the delivery drivers from carrying cash…
