A man from Wisconsin faces charges of attempted murder following allegations that he shot his wife several times after she returned from consulting a lawyer regarding their impending divorce.

Authorities identified the suspect as 53-year-old Guy Jerome Paider, who reportedly fired at the victim after police gained entry to their residence in Grafton.

According to a report by WISN, law enforcement responded to a domestic violence call at the home late Friday afternoon. Upon arrival, they were met with screams emanating from a locked back bedroom. After breaking down the door and instructing those inside to show their hands, officers heard several gunshots, as detailed in a criminal complaint.

Paider emerged from the bedroom where the shots were fired and surrendered to the police, who discovered the woman with gunshot wounds. She was initially transported to Aurora Medical Center before being airlifted to Froedtert Hospital in Wauwatosa for further treatment.

Inside the bedroom, police recovered a semi-automatic handgun.

The victim later told police that she had been to see her lawyer on Friday to discuss the divorce. When she returned home, she said, Paider demanded to know what she wanted in the divorce, but she told him she didn’t want to discuss it in front of their daughter.

Paider sent the girl to her room and then attacked her mother, who screamed out for her daughter to “call 911.” Paider picked up the woman, carried her to the bedroom, and threw her on the floor.

“When I saw him, he opened his first drawer, where his underwear is, and he grabbed a gun,” she told police, according to the complaint. “He said, ‘Look at me, look at me, so you can see me when I shoot you.”

Police said she was shot in the abdomen, leg and groin and was in stable condition Monday afternoon.

In addition to attempted murder, Paider — who who retired from the West Allis Fire Department earlier this year, WDJT said — is charged with recklessly endangering safety.
