Officer shoots fellow officer's patrol car

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Nov. 15 (UPI) -- A Florida police officer accused of emptying his .40-caliber pistol into the patrol car of a fellow officer cannot be released on bond, a judge ruled.

Broward County Judge John Hurley said Kristopher Bieger must remain behind bars on attempted murder charges for allegedly firing nearly 10 rounds at fellow Lauderhill officer Britanny Skinner Saturday, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported Tuesday.

Lauderhill Police said once his gun was empty Bieger, 30, begged fellow officers for another bullet so he could kill himself.

Skinner, who briefly dated Bieger, was unharmed but had bullet holes in her shirt and protective vest after one shot went through the seat of her patrol car.

At the time, Skinner was working at an off-duty security job just six blocks from the police station.

She told police when she broke up with Bieger last week he "began to cry uncontrollably" and begged her to take him back.

Bieger is the son of a retired Hallandale Beach policeman.
