Firefighter Shoots Man For Riding Bike On Busy Road

CHARLES Diez, an Asheville, North Carolina firefighter, was so concerned that a cyclist was riding along a busy road with his child that he shot him.

Police says the victim was riding with his wife and had his 3-year-old son in a child seat attached to his bicycle when a driver approached.

Police said the driver, Charles Diez, claimed he was upset that the victim was bike riding with his child on the heavily traveled Tunnel Road.

Diez pulled a gun and opened fire, hitting the victim in his bicycle helmet… They said the bullet penetrated the outer lining of the helmet but did not actually hit the victim’s head.

Diez has been charged with attempted first degree murder.
