Ex-Cop Allegedly Guns Down Man In Driveway

SOMMERSET (CBS13) ― A former police officer is suspected of killing another man in El Dorado County before turning the gun on himself.

Morris Greenberg, a former police officer in Burlingame, allegedly gunned down 26-year-old Anthony Dumont when an argument turned ugly in Greenberg's driveway. El Dorado County deputies say the shooting happened in front of family members, including children.

Relatives rushed Dumont to a nearby fire station in a pickup truck, but he succumbed to his injuries.

"I could hear her on the phone saying, 'He's not breathing,'" said Mary Bozarth, who witnessed the incident. "An ambulance showed up but never left."

Greenberg then reportedly turned the gun on himself, but survived the gunshot.

"He seemed like a rounded, normal guy," said neighbor Brek Peterson. "He was a police officer, he had been injured."

Greenberg was taken by helicopter to Sutter Roseville Hospital.  He faces murder charges if he recovers. 

Deputies are still investigating a motive for the shooting but sya it appears to be related to a domestic issue.
