INTERNAL AFFAIRS TO INVESTIGATE SHOOTING OF SUSPECTED DEALER

HUNTSVILLE -- Tuesday's shooting of a suspected drug dealer by
narcotics agents will be the focus of an internal affairs
investigation at the request of Huntsville Police Chief Rex Reynolds.

Such reviews are traditional in cases where officers use deadly force,
Wendell Johnson, a police spokesman, said Wednesday.

Officers shot Christopher Hundley, 21, to stop him when he allegedly
attempted to run over the officers with his vehicle, police spokesman
Wendell Johnson said.

Hundley was in serious but stable condition at Huntsville Hospital on
Wednesday, a hospital spokeswoman said.

Upon his release from the hospital, police expect to charge Hundley
with one count of conspiracy to commit a controlled substance crime
and four counts of attempted murder.
