TAMPA (CBSMiami/AP) - A man who allegedly shot at a sheriff's deputy near Tampa has been charged with two counts of attempted first-degree murder of law enforcement officer.
Angel Jordanny Rodriguez Aviles, 21, was arguing with his girlfriend Thursday when he fired a shot into the ground when someone tried to intervene.
