During a traffic stop, the officers ordered Williams to get out of the car, but he did not comply, police said. The officers then broke Williams' car window in an attempt to take him into custody.

A struggle ensued, and Williams fired multiple shots, striking both officers, police said. A third officer returned fire and hit Williams.

Williams was found guilty of Attempted Murder, Aggravated Battery of a Peace Office with a Firearm, among other charges on Thursday.
