<p>Officers Say Pair Argued Over Child Safety</p>

<p>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.</p>
<p>The shooting happened Sunday morning on Tunnel Road.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Diez pulled a gun and opened fire, hitting the victim in his bicycle
helmet, according to police.</p>
<p>They said the bullet penetrated the outer lining of the helmet but did not
actually hit the victim's head.</p>
<p>Police arrested Diez and charged him with attempted first degree
murder.</p>
<p>His bond was set at $500,000.</p>
<p>Diez has been a firefighter with the Asheville Fire Department since 1992,
according to officials.</p>
<p>On Monday, they confirmed he has been placed on paid investigative leave
pending the outcome of this
investigation.</p></div></blockquote></div></font></div>
