Police say, on January 20th, Saunders ordered a pizza to be delivered to an apartment at Sable Point Apartments in Hurricane and lured the driver, Morgan Vandergriff, behind a stairwell, told Vandergriff to put down the pizza and empty his pockets. Saunders acted like he had a gun inside his jacket and was going to shoot Vandergriff if he did not comply. Vandergriff then pulled out a .38 caliber handgun and shot Saunders. Saunders has also been charged for his alleged involvement in two pizza delivery driver robberies reported in Kanawha County in November.
