The Monarch School's prom is scheduled for June at the San Diego Zoo.

A Union City man will be formally charged with attempted murder for firing a gun during an argument with his daughter over violating her prom curfew.

Police say Rufus Pucket fired the gun during an argument Monday, two days after the James Logan High School dance when his daughter came home late, the Fremont Argus reports.

He nearly shot his wife who was trying to protect her daughter.

He surrendered to police after hiding in the garage when the girl called 911.
