MARTINEZ -- A San Ramon man accused of shooting a property manager in the leg during a bank's repossession of his home last week, prompting a police standoff, has been charged with three counts of attempted murder.

Mike Ghoneim, 42, is being jailed in lieu of $3 million bail, charged with two counts of attempted murder and one count of attempted murder on a peace officer in connection with the three people who were standing in the line of fire when he shot through the front door of his home on the 3400 block of Ashbourne Circle on Sept. 18, prosecutor Brian Baker said.

Baker said the property manager, a locksmith and a Sheriff's deputy were each outside the front door when Ghoneim ignored requests to answer the door and fired a shotgun through it.

Authorities took Ghoneim into custody after a four-hour standoff during which SWAT officers lobbed tear gas into the residence.

Ghoneim had his initial arraignment Friday. He returns to court to enter a plea on Friday.
