Woman (76) arrested for shooting husband in hospital
A 76-year-old Florida woman has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder after shooting her terminally ill husband to death in the hospital. That reports Fox News. The police suspect that the couple had decided to take their own life together, but that the woman was unable to carry out the plan. The woman is being held without bail.
PLANNED
The police confirm that it was a planned action. “Because he was terminally ill, they had a conversation about it and planned it about three weeks ago,” the police chief explained. ” If things continued to go downhill for him, he wanted her to end it.” After the woman shot her husband, she would have begun to have doubts about taking her own life.
