Man saved by police after shootout pleads guilty

ATLANTA - A man, saved by Atlanta Police after shooting at them, will spend 15 years behind bars.

Hood got into a shootout with police and was hit several times.

An Atlanta officer jumped in to stop the bleeding and saved Hood's life.

After serving his sentence, Hood will spend an additional 15 years on probation.
