LAGUNA WOODS, Calif. (AP) — A 90-year-old retired physician has been charged with killing his terminally ill wife at their Southern California home but remains hospitalized after turning the gun on himself. Dr. James Fish was charged Monday with voluntary manslaughter and could face 21 years in prison if convicted. Authorities say Fish apparently wanted to end his wife’s suffering when he allegedly shot 88-year-old Phyllis Fish on Sunday at their Leisure World home in Laguna Woods.–Contact The Daily Reveille’s news staff at [email protected]
