Unfortunately the link is to the video on Facebook. I'll see if I can find it elsewhere. From Cullman Daily News:

quote:

Gregory Hill of Decatur was charged with attempted murder after running over a local off-duty police officer. Hill had approached the officers home just prior to the video.

The officer retreated to his home to get his weapon when Hill followed him up the driveway to his carport. Hill returned to his vehicle as the officer returned outside to detain him. Hill accelerated towards the officer, while the officer was in his front yard. The officer fired multiple shots at the vehicle as Hill struck him with the vehicle. He was not struck by gunfire.

I don't have Facebook, video works for me. That video is insane. I wonder if this is just some random crazy or if there is some back story.

Someone has to ask. What is the point of the cop running out with his gun if all he's going to do is point it at the guy?

Jeopardy hasn’t had $500 questions for a while now.

I've always liked Priceville, I have family in that area. It isn't technically Decatur, though. I'd head out towards the Danville area if I had to live over that way.

Did you watch the whole video? After the Jeep backs up, he goes back after the officer again who then fires his weapon.

He could have easily shot him when he put it in reverse. I think even justified.

He only fired once it was too late and none of the shots hit him. Kind of frustrating.
