NY Man Shoots Girlfriend After Arguing Over 'The Walking Dead'

Couples argue over television shows all the time. However, it's never serious enough to pull out a gun on your mate over a disagreement about a fictional series.

According to NBC Chicago, Jared Gurman, 26, was charged with attempted murder after shooting his girlfriend with a .22-caliber rifle at his Williston Park, N.Y. home, police said Tuesday. The unidentified woman suffered a pierced lung, shattered rib and pierced diaphragm.

The argument reportedly started over the hit sci-fi series, The Walking Dead —a television cable drama about a man who wakes from a coma to a world dominated by zombies—where Gurman's passionate belief that zombies could actually take over the world got way out of hand.
