Just after midnight on Saturday, emergency services were called to a property on Cobb Highway, Pretty Pine north of Deniliquin.
The 31-year-old woman was delivered by road to Deniliquin hospital before she was airlifted to Royal Melbourne Hospital.
She remains in a critical condition.
Shortly after the incident the woman’s 32-year-old husband was arrested by Murray River police officers.
Four witnesses who were also on the property at the time of the incident also assisted police with their inquiries.
The 32-year-old was taken to Deniliquin Police Station where he was formally charged with using a firearm in a manner that would likely injure persons or property, use of an unauthorised firearm, and use of a firearm under the influence of alcohol.
During his hearing this morning at Griffith Bail Court, he was refused bail. He will appear before Griffith Local Court on January 23.
