Haley Hill dies after former boyfriend shot her during rampage

Authorities say a woman has died after she was shot by her former boyfriend during a rampage in northeast Georgia.

Oglethorpe County Sheriff Mike Smith says Haley Hill, 23, who was pregnant, died after being removed from life support at midnight Thursday at Athens Regional Medical Center.

Police say Hill was shot and thrown from a moving truck by her former boyfriend Ryan Edgar Aold, 23. Aold then hijacked log truck driver Don Davis and forced Davis to ram the tractor-trailer into several police cars. Police officers opened fire, hitting Aold. Davis was also shot, but it is unclear if his wounds came from Aold or police.

Hill had been hospitalized since Monday and declared brain dead Wednesday. Her body was kept alive through life support to preserve organs for donor recipients.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation says Hill's child was pronounced dead upon being delivered at the hospital.

Aold faces a feticide charge. He is also charged with kidnapping with bodily injury. He is being held at an Athens jail.
