Answer:A

Explanation:he planed and attempted to kill his neighbour even though he didn't succeed on the action but he had planned to do it and took an action towards doing it and also it is stated in the article that even though he wasn't aware of his pistol's limited range but he went ahead and shot at his neighbour hence it can be concluded that the intentions were indeed to kill his neighbour because if the range was wide enough he would have got him and shot him dead on the spot.
