CHULA VISTA, Calif. - A man apparently shot his terminally ill wife to death at a suburban San Diego County hospital Friday, then killed himself, police said. No one else was injured.
The man was visiting his wife, a patient at Sharp Hospital in Chula Vista, shortly before 8 a.m. when two shots were fired, police Lt. Buddy Magor said.
“It appears to be a mercy-type killing,” Magor said. He said the woman had a terminal illness. She and her husband were both in their 70s.
There were no witnesses to the shooting.
