ASHEVILLE, N.C. -- A driver, now identified as an Asheville firefighter, shot a bicycle rider because he was angry the man was riding with his child on a busy road, Asheville police said.

The shooting happened Sunday morning on Tunnel Road.

Officers said 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 him.

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, according to police.

Diez was charged with attempted first-degree murder and was being held at the Buncombe County Detention Center on $500,000 bond. Kelley Webb with the Asheville Fire and Rescue Department said that Diez has been an engineer for the department for 17 years. She said Diez has been placed on paid investigative leave.

Looks like this fuck deserves a nice long stay in a nice cold cell to reflect on his temper.

oh my god, that's totally insane! like, oh hey, you're putting your son in danger, let me just go ahead and murder you in front of him so he'll forever be scarred instead.

I don't understand why they put people on "paid leave" after things like this. why? he shot a man in the head for pete's sake.

I'm glad the helmet deflected the bullet, that part is awesome.
