Town Joker Died A Hero in Alabama Shootings

Bruce Maloy chased down and rammed the car of the man who shot all those people in Alabama last week. It cost him his life, but it may have saved others.

Some people didn't like being around Maloy because he was such a big talker, Harrison said. He could be a little obnoxious with his joking and boasting.

But Samson now knows him as someone much different.

"He needs some recognition for what he did," said Harrison. "It was something he always wanted, and now the old boy won't see it."
