Is choking someone attempted murder?
My bad re: gun shots - I seem to recall he shot them in her general direction (like around her or something - not with the intent of killing her, but to scare her) - but I'm wrong. Apparently after he choked her and threw her against the wall, she ran and hide in the bushes to call the police while he went to his car, punched out the window and got his gun....then locked himself in a garage before shooting at the block wall (1 shot through the window though).
I'm going to say decision making isn't his strong point.
