MUSKEGON, Mich. (WZZM) - A Muskegon County man is facing attempted murder charges for shooting his live-in girlfriend, while she was on the phone with 911.
The shooting happened early yesterday on Hall Road in Moorland Township, north of Ravenna.
27-year-old Ysmael Deleon was arraigned Friday on four felony charges including charges for assaulting two police officers during his arrest. As the charges were read, the defendent covered his face and cried.
Prosecutors say the victim, Jody Burns, was shot twice in the head with a .22-caliber rifle in the presence of the victim's 5-year old son.
Tony Tague, the Muskegon County Prosecutor said the 911 tape is "the most chilling thing that I have ever heard..."
Deleon faces a possible life sentence. Burns is in critical condition at a Grand Rapids hospital.
