GREELEY, Colo.—Prosecutors have filed charges against a Greeley man accused of shooting a friend in the head while they checked football scores at home.
The Weld County District Attorney’s office said Wednesday that 37-year-old Timothy William Pollard was charged with second-degree assault, attempted manslaughter, felony menacing and prohibited use of a weapon.
Prosecutors say Pollard faces up to 16 years in prison if convicted of all charges.
Police arrested Pollard after 28-year-old Robert Knorr was shot Sunday. He is expected to survive.
Police say the two were drinking at a bar before they went home to check on their fantasy football league on a computer. Pollard told police he thought the gun’s safety was on when he pointed it at Knorr.
