Multiple charges, including criminal attempt to commit murder, have been filed against a Hall County man who pointed a gun at a woman and repeatedly punched her early Sunday morning, authorities said.
Deputies said 52-year-old Christopher Rose injured the woman after entering her house in the 5000 block of Mountain Laurel Walk around 1:30 a.m. Rose, an estranged family member, threatened to kill her and himself before trying to restrain her, according to Hall County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Derreck Booth.
Booth said the woman grabbed the gun, and while they both struggled for it, it went off. No one was injured from the gunfire, but Rose frequently punched the woman. She managed to escape to a neighbor’s house and called police from there, according to a news release. The woman, whose name wasn’t released, suffered minor injuries.
Rose left the house, but authorities said they located his car at the intersection of Falcon Parkway and Martin Road.
He was arrested and initially booked into the Hall County Jail with no bond on an aggravated assault charge, Booth said. Authorities have since obtained warrants to charge him with criminal attempt to commit murder, kidnapping with bodily injury, false imprisonment, aggravated stalking and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.
