Uber Driver Had Gun Pointed At His Head During Attempted Robbery

FORT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) - An Uber driver said he's lucky to be alive after he was shot at during an attempted robbery in Lauderhill.

Jorge Sanchez said he had just finished a ride in the 4400 block of NW 18th Street when his passenger pulled out a gun and tried to rob him.

"This guy pulled a gun on my head and told me to give him my wallet. I just told him in the name of Jesus Christ exit my car. He was backing up from the car, I just started driving and he shot two times," said Sanchez.

He was not hit but his car was.

Sanchez drove to an apartment complex on NW 49th Avenue and called the police. He said he was shaken up but otherwise okay.
