A 35-year-old Farmington man is charged with attempted murder and assault in connection with the shooting of his girlfriend. Nicholas Carlson is accused of shooting the 25-year-old woman multiple times Sunday after the two had had a discussion about their relationship. During that discussion, police say Carlson pointed a gun at the victim and when she tried to run away, he shot her. The woman was able to make it out to the driveway where police found her. She was rushed to the hospital for surgery and remains in stable condition. Carslon was arrested after a short standoff with police.
