A Colbert County man now is facing an attempted murder charge after a fight over Saturday’s Alabama vs. LSU football game.

David Allan Fulkerson was arrested Monday for attempted murder, said Colbert County Sheriff Frank Williamson.

He said the victim is hospitalized in critical condition.

Williamson said Fulkerson and the victim got into an argument over the game about 7 p.m. Saturday, which lead to the victim being shot.

The incident took place on Ligon Springs Road.

Fulkerson is in the Colbert County Jail with a $50,000 bond.

LSU defeated Alabama 46-41.

The victim, James Michael Roland Merritt, remains in critical condition on a ventilator in Huntsville Hospital, Williamson said. He was shot once with a pistol. The sheriff said the charges against Fulkerson could be upgraded should Merritt die. Williamson couldn’t provide many details, but said the Crimson Tide’s loss to the LSU Tigers provided the catalyst for the shooting.
