File a police report NOW! Tell the truth. Be as absolutely honest and straightforward as you can. Don't BS them. Make sure you explain about the guns in the house. Show the lawmen any battle scars.
GET OUT OF THERE...NOW!!! If, as you state, she assaulted you with scissors, that is attempted murder. Time to go. Regardless of her anger, she understood the consequences of her actions and did it anyway. She is a clear and present danger to you now. In 1985, a shipmate of mine ignored the warnings and he woke up in pain about 0200 as his Old Lady aired him out 37 times with a butcher knife. He didn't die instantly either...unlike what they show in the movies.
Immediately close down all accounts that you can to restrict her access BEFORE she cleans you out and hauls ass...leaving you holding the bag. Call the credit card companies now and report the situation. You might have to put a formal statement in the local paper about disavowing any of her future debts.
Make sure your company changes the automatic direct deposit to another account or pays you in a check...for awhile anyway.
Lawyer up...you will need it.
Remove ALL of your firearms from the house NOW. If she files a complaint first, you will be slapped with all sorts of evil papers...and your guns will go bye-bye.
Call the lawmen before you decide to leave. Have the moving truck/rental truck and the lawdogs show up at the same time. This will prevent another, possibly more violent scene. My son did this, per the sheriff's request, when he moved out on his psycho-bitch-from-hell. He already had legal custody of their two little kids. With the cops standing by, all she could do is rant a bit...or go to jail, as he cleaned out their apartment. SWEEEET!
Take pictures of your property in case she decides to go on a destruction rampage. The insurance company and the cops will want to know.
GOOD LUCK...AND STAY SAFE!!!

That's assault with a dangerous weapon. NOT ATTEMPTED MURDER.

OK...I fail to see the real difference. If she is successful, he's dead regardless of what the law calls it. ADW sounds better anyway. Intent?
LocknLoaded,
Just a reminder. I wasn't kidding about the old shipmate of mine being murdered by his PBFH wife. He too thought they were on the road to recovery...and that things were looking up in his marriage. After a huge fight on Wednesday of that week...things were calming down and she seemed to be back on an even keel. Little did he know. Saturday evening, they both went to dinner with some friends and returned home about 2100. Sometime around 0200 she began stabbing him with a large carving knife. It wasn't pretty. When the San Diego PD found him, he had 37 knife wounds in him of which about 8 would have been fatal. She then calmly washed off the blade and called some of her relatives in the midwest to tell them that a burgler had killed her hubby.
She was a mousy little woman about five feet tall and maybe 110 pounds dripping wet. He was about 6' tall and maybe 220lbs.
Turns out she had an accomplice; a 20year old man with whom she had been having an affair while we were on deployement earlier that year.
What precipitated the Wednesday battle was her demand for a divorce with alimony and child support. My shipmate, a senior chief petty officer (E8) at the time, refused and threatened to simply smoke a joint publicly if she pressed ahead with her divorce demands. Since smoking dope would have resulted in immediate discharge from the Navy with total loss of benifits accrued over 26 years of service, including her loss of any retirement or other bennies including medical, he had just boxed her into a corner. She had shown violent tendencies before, but he chose to ignore them. He had discussed their situation with some of the other chiefs in the mess, and said that no guns in the home meant it was pretty safe there....RIGHT.
She was eventually convicted and sentenced to 25-life. Probably out now...since it happened in CA.
