¶ 1. The court is equally divided on whether to affirm or reverse the order of the circuit court on the charge of attempted first degree intentional homicide. Justice Donald W. Steinmetz, Justice Jon P. Wilcox, and Justice N. Patrick Crooks would affirm; Justice William A. Bablitch, Justice Ann Walsh Bradley, and Justice David T. Prosser would reverse.

¶ 2. When a certification results in a tie vote by this court, a course of action is to vacate our decision to accept certification and remand the cause to the court of appeals. State v.
