That was attempted first degree murder.

In my State it would more likely be second if the victim were dead. First implies premeditation, which requires a plan, rather than just a lack of self control.

There is a federal crime of Attempted Murder.

It is not clear all states have "attempted murder" as a separate charge.

Many states have the generic "attempt" moniker which can be used to modify many crimes.
