With her final words before she was fatally shot, Elaine McCall needled her husband for missing with his first shot yesterday morning inside their Wakefield home, police said.
“ ‘You can’t even shoot,’ ” she said, according to her husband David McCall’s reported statements to police.
The 72-year-old husband was charged with murder after hitting his wife with the second shot from the top of the stairs, police said. His 69-year-old wife’s body crumpled to the floor near the front door, shot in the chest, police said. David McCall walked to the kitchen, called 911, and then tried to shoot himself, according to police, but he missed again, grazing his chest through his sweatshirt.
“The Glock is on the floor,” he told cops when they arrived, according to the report. “I shot my wife,” he told police.
Middlesex District Attorney Gerard Leone told reporters that when McCall dialed 911 he told a dispatcher there had been a “murder-suicide.”
“Apparently, he didn’t make good on the suicide,” Leone said.

Uh, I think there was more to this than just heckling.
Mrs. Thane_Banquo wouldn’t have made a snarky remark like that if someone tried to shoot her. She would have been too busy returning a wall of .357 jhp. Gotta love a woman like that.
I guarantee there was, but she is still an idiot for sticking around to get one last insult in instead of running out the door.
She ridiculed her husband to the day she died. (Ahem)
This was a case of being dead right.
A 9-mm divorce.
I guess she got the last word in that dispute - sometimes it is better to just shut up.
The weird thing is, she was right.
The article says after he tried to shoot himself after but missed.
I guess she was dead on.
She won the battle.
He won the war.
When shooting up or down compensate less for bullet drop. :)
Sorry, in the end, she was dead wrong. He did hit her.

He said “Consider this a divorce!”
This looks like it could be a 50-year argument resolved in an inappropiate manner.
Sad for all involved.
How does one smuggle a Glock into the Peoples Republic of Massachusetts anyway?
I guess he finally bagged the nag.
Sounds like they couldn’t pay their bills and took a reverse mortgage. No caregivers for either and struggling. This had to end up badly under the circumstances.
Well he's got a caregiver now.
This story says a lot about the wife. She must have been an insufferable ball-breaker. The husband preferred prison or suicide to her nagging.
The reverse mortgage was on a house worth half a million and was only 4 years into it. Taxes must be a real b*tch there if they couldn’t live off of that check each month with no house payment.
