Coach Talks About Being Shot By Player

CBS 2 got a sit-down with Glynn Hall, the baseball coach shot by one of his players after he pulled the player out of the game.

Glynn Hall says after he pulled 21-year-old pitcher Deangelo Williams out of a game, his young player lost it. "Then he threatened to kick my butt," Hall said. "Then he said, 'That's all right, I got something for you.'"

Hall says Williams then pulled a small handgun from a bag and started shooting at him as the other players on the field ducked for cover.

Hall was shot four times: in the arm, the back, the shoulder, and the neck.
