A 38-year-old woman shot in the head during a road-rage crash on U.S. 285 in Jefferson County remained in critical condition Friday, according to the sheriff’s office.
A suspect in the shooting, 56-year-old Matthew Impellitteri, was arrested Thursday on suspicion of two counts of attempted first-degree murder after deliberation and two counts of attempted first-degree murder with extreme indifference, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.
Impellitteri appeared in court Friday morning and remains in custody on a $1 million cash bail.
The sheriff’s office has accused Impellitteri of shooting the woman in the head during a road-rage crash about 9 miles southwest of Morrison.
