Uber Driver Locked Out After Self-Defense | Dallas News

An Uber driver in Mesquite, Christopher McIntosh, says he was locked out of his account after defending himself during a harrowing ride where passengers pulled a gun and changed their destination — forcing him to fire his weapon. Police responded but the suspects fled.

The case remains under investigation, leaving drivers and listeners wondering how platforms balance safety, policy, and real-world consequences.
