Uber is getting a bad reputation now-a-days. There has been issues with Uber in the news recently. One, that our fellow classmates has covered, with passengers of the ride getting sexually assaulted by their Uber driver. Well, this story occurred where a shooting occurred by the Uber driver that shot and killed his passenger.
Apparently, the passenger of the vehicle had called the police and stated that he had been shot. When police arrived, the victim was lying on the front set floorboard, with 10 gun shot wounds. The victim was taken to the hospital and arrested on charges of first-degree murder. Although the story is still developing, there is no direct reason why the shooting occurred.
I am a bit confused on what was the reason for something to turn out like this? In the article, it already states that Uber drivers are not allowed to carry a weapon while driving around customers. It’s just crazy that no one is safe anywhere. Hopefully there will be more coverage on this story as it develops.
My question to you is, “Do you feel safe riding with Uber? Will this make you not want to be a customer of theirs anymore?”
