An argument Christmas morning led to multiple charges, including attempted murder, for a Lincoln man.

Delaware State Police investigated a shooting at about 7:40 a.m. Dec. 25 in the 19000 block of Pine Street in Lincoln. There they found a woman, 37, with a single gunshot to her upper torso, police said.

She and her boyfriend, Javaghn D. Waples, 40, were home with two children, ages 12 and 15, and had been arguing when he got a gun and fired a single shot at her, police said. He subsequently hit himself, too, police said.

Waples and the victim were taken to Milford Memorial Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

After he was released from the hospital, police took Waples to Troop 4 and charged him with attempted murder, first degree; possession of a deadly weapon during commission of a felony; possession of a deadly weapon by a person prohibited; terroristic threatening; and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child.

Waples was arraigned and committed to Sussex Correctional Institution on $1,006,600 cash only bond.
