A man pleaded not guilty to his attempted murder charges Wednesday in connection with a Colorado Springs shooting that nearly killed a 23-year-old woman.

Chase Edwards, 26, was arrested in late February after Colorado Springs Police Department investigators tied him to the shooting, which happened after the woman and her two friends left a car meet near The Citadel mall on Nov. 14. A bullet struck the woman in the chest, narrowly missing her heart.

Edwards faces 12 charges, including three counts of attempted first-degree murder and one count of first-degree assault.

Dressed in an orange jumpsuit, Edwards made a brief court appearance Wednesday morning to enter his plea before he was escorted back to Fremont County, where records show he is being held at the Fremont County Detention Center on a $50,000 bond.
