A Jacksonville Chinese food delivery driver shot several attempted robbery suspects after he was ambushed during a delivery, officers said.
The victim, a delivery driver for Hot Wok on 103rd Street, said he was delivering an order on W. Arancio Drive Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. when two men answered the door with a gun.
He said two men in their early 20s pointed a green laser at his face. The laser was coming from the bottom of a barrel on a black semi-automatic pistol, he told police.

The driver said the men told him to come inside several times.
He tried to turn around and leave and was approached by a third man with a gun, he told officers.
The driver told police he threw the food at the third man, backed away and grabbed a gun from a holster on his waist.
The driver fired 4 to 5 shots at the suspects and yelled for neighbors to call 911, according to police.
He held one suspect at gunpoint until police arrived, officer said.
Officers said a short time later, a man reported he had been shot at a different location.
He was arrested in connection with the attempted robbery. Officers are still seeking a third suspect.
