ROCHESTER, Minn. – An Olmsted County judge has set bail at $1 million for a Rochester man accused of shooting his girlfriend in the head on Christmas Eve.
Phillip Turner, 34, faces multiple charges of second-degree attempted murder and assault.
Authorities said the father of the victim’s children called police after being unable to reach her when she didn’t show up for a custody exchange Christmas morning. A five-year-old told responding officers their 37-year-old mother was hurt, and a two-year-old girl was also in the apartment.
Police said Turner had a magazine on him with rounds matching the caliber of the bullet in the shooting.
