Long Island man has been arrested for allegedly shooting his girlfriend during a heated argument over the television show "The Walking Dead," authorities say.

Jared Gurman, 26, was charged with attempted murder after shooting his girlfriend with a .22-caliber rifle at his Williston Park home early Monday morning, police said Tuesday.

The unidentified woman suffered a pierced lung, shattered rib and pierced diaphragm. She is in stable condition.

"He felt very adamant," Detective Lt. Raymond Cote said at a news conference Tuesday. "There could be military mishap that would result in some sort of virus being released that could cause a terrible thing to happen."

The argument became so heated the woman decided she didn't want to spend the night with Gurman and would drop him off at his home.

"She felt it was ridiculous," said Cote. "He's passionate about it. And it escalated to the point it did."
