Locked up: Harry Hibbs Jr. faces an attempted homicide charge
A man has been jailed on attempted homicide and other charges that accuse him of trying to shoot his wife because he believes she spends too much time on the Facebook social networking site.
Harry Hibbs Jr., 51, of North Strabane, Pennsylvania, remained jailed on Monday because he is unable to post $500,000 bail set by a judge after his arrest on Christmas Eve.
Police say there were two children in the home at the time, and that Hibbs' wife Anna was holding one of them, a two-year-old, when he pushed her to the ground and hit her in the head with a gun.
Police say Hibbs then tried to shoot the woman but the gun malfunctioned, the Associated Press reports.
Online court records don't list an attorney for Hibbs, who is also charged with assault and reckless endangerment.
Mrs Hibbs told Canon-McMillan.patch.com: 'He threatened to take my life.
