The SWAT team storms a Madisonville apartment building looking for a man charged with attempted murder. Glenn Davis is accused of shooting a man eight times. He was wanted for failing to show up for court. Local 12's Angela Ingram spoke with the victim's family who says Davis should never have been let out in the first place.

Davis bonded out early last month. The victim's family says he's dangerous, and they were horrified to find out that Davis was back in their neighborhood.

Glenn Davis brought a huge police presence to the apartments on Madison Road Wednesday afternoon.  Davis is accused of shooting Leonard Lamb and, when Davis bonded out of the Justice Center in early March, Lamb's family says no one ever notified them.  "We didn't know he was out on bond running around.  People were telling us that he was on the streets, running around and partying at the bars and all this."

It's been a nightmare of sorts for Lamb's family since the shooting on Kenwood Road. Family members say while he was out, Davis taunted them and threatened witnesses. Leonard now uses a walker and a wheelchair.  He was shot eight times. "In both legs, both arms and had tore a vessel loose in his leg which he almost bled to death."

Police say Davis didn't show for a court date and a warrant was issued for his arrest. After nearly a month of freedom, a probation officer spotted Davis this afternoon in the back of a car on Madison Road. "And as the Probation Officer was pulling into the parking lot to approach Mr. Davis, Mr. Davis ran from the vehicle."

SWAT found him hiding in one of the building's electrical supply closets. John P. Parker school, about a block away, was on lockdown while police searched for Davis.  Leonard Lamb's family is just happy Davis is locked-up.  

"I didn't want to see him hurt on the street on nothing because I'm not out for vengence or anything like that you know, but I'm glad that they got him off the streets."

Davis's bond is now $500,000. Lamb's family is hoping he won't be able to make that bond and will stay in jail. 

Davis is facing several charges including attempted murder and two counts of felonious assault. He is also charged with inducing panic for the SWAT situation.
