A suspect has been charged in the shooting of another man inside a Hoover apartment.

David L. Smith, 31, of Adamsville, is charged with attempted murder, first-degree burglary and menacing, police announced Saturday.

Hoover police responded just before 11 a.m. Friday to a 911 call reporting a person shot in the 1900 block of Rime Village Drive.

According to police radio communications, dispatchers could hear shots being fired during the emergency call.

Officers responded to the complex – The Park at Hoover Apartments – and found the suspect outside of the apartment, armed with a rifle, said Capt. Keith Czeskleba.

Police were able to disarm Smith and take him into custody after a brief standoff.

Once the suspect was detained, officers entered the apartment and found the victim – also an adult male – with a gunshot wound to the shoulder.

Hoover Fire medics transported the victim to UAB Hospital. He is expected to recover.

Czeskleba said investigators learned the suspect and the victim are acquaintances.

Smith, he said, drove to the victim’s apartment, forced the door open and shot the victim.

He also pointed the rifle at another resident of the apartment before going outside, still armed with the rifle.

Smith was booked in the Jefferson County Jail Saturday where he remains held without bond.
