A Pueblo man is in custody on a litany of charges, including attempted first-degree murder, following a domestic violence incident in which he allegedly shot at his girlfriend.

Matthew Franklin Miller, 27, of the 550 block of Pear Street, was arrested Friday on suspicion of attempted first-degree murder, second-degree assault, and menacing. He also is charged with possession of a weapon by a previous offender and illegal discharge of a firearm.

A police department spokesman said that during the domestic violence episode, Miller shot at least once at his girlfriend, who was not injured. He then fled the scene, then was involved in an auto accident on Thatcher Avenue in which two people sustained injuries as a result of the collision.

Shortly thereafter, Miller was taken into custody near the intersection of Prairie and Thatcher avenues without incident.

Placed on a parole hold, Miller is also facing charges of reckless endangerment, fleeing the scene of an accident involving injury, disregarding a traffic control device and careless driving.

He remains in custody with no bail set.
