"A Death Averted"

[JFox1]

In Jackson, MS, a man repeatedly stabbed his wife in a parking lot, then poured gasoline on her and got out a match in order to set her on fire, but he was stopped by a passer-by who held him at gunpoint until the police arrived, witnesses said.

"aggravated assault charges" ???
Shouldn't that be attempted murder ?

Yep sounds like attempted murder. I cant see how he wasnt trying to kill.
