Grafton, WI – A Grafton man has been charged with attempted homicide following an incident involving his wife. Guy Paider, aged 53, faces serious charges related to the attack that occurred Friday.
Paider has been charged with attempted first-degree intentional homicide and first-degree recklessly endangering safety, according to court records. The couple’s marital struggles were evident, as the wife had met with a lawyer earlier that day to discuss divorce proceedings.
Upon returning home, she and Paider confronted each other. After sending their child to another room for privacy, Paider allegedly assaulted her.
The wife reported that she screamed for help and was eventually thrown to the floor. During the altercation, she claimed Paider retrieved a gun from a drawer.
He allegedly warned his wife by saying, “Look at me, look at me, so you can see me when I shoot you.” At approximately 3:50 p.m., deputies from the Ozaukee County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to the scene after receiving a 911 call.
First responders from the Grafton Police Department were the first to arrive and heard a woman calling for help. As they approached, a male subject, identified as Paider, reportedly fired multiple shots at the woman.
Paider was arrested on the scene and taken to the Ozaukee County Jail. The victim, a 48-year-old woman, sustained serious injuries and was airlifted to a hospital in Milwaukee.
Following medical attention, she was reported to be in stable condition. Paider previously served as a firefighter in West Allis.
