HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) - A Huntsville police officer shot in thehead in an arrest attempt died this morning from his wound.
At a news conference, police said Officer William Eric Freeman,
36, of Hazel Green, who was married and had five children, died
from the wound he received last night.
Police Chief Henry Reyes said Kenneth Shipp has been charged
with capital murder in the officer's death.
Shipp is being held without bond.
Reyes said Freeman and officer Kevin Lambert had been called to
investigate a traffic accident with injuries at 8:43 p.m. When they
arrived at 8:51 p.m., the chief said, they found Shipp sitting on
the curb.
As the officers tried to arrest him for driving under the
influence, Reyes said, Shipp pulled a pistol and shot Freeman in
the head.
Lambert struggled with Shipp, Reyes said, and two bystanders
helped Lambert subdue him.
