Deadly Greensboro Shooting After Traffic Stop

0:00A traffic stop in Greensboro turned deadly last Thursday, around 7.30pm, on Blount Street. It spilled into the parking lot at Magnolia Village Apartments, where the suspect fired at a police officer. The officer shot back, killing the suspect identified as Williams, while the officer got hit and is still in the hospital. Bystanders caught the whole exchange on video, showing how fast things escalated from a routine stop. Williams took off driving, leading cops to the apartment complex before the gunfire erupted. Locals nearby are still reeling from the shots and sirens. One neighbor who's lived there 18 years said he'd never heard anything like it, two pops at first, then three more. Another new Williams as a friendly guy who always spoke, calling the whole thing shocking and out of character. The officer's in stable condition getting treatment, but no word yet on why the stop happened, or what sparked Williams to flee. The Alabama law enforcement agency has stepped in to investigate. Thoughts go out to the officer and his family as they sort through this.
