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.

Been married now for almost 21 years, each and every night I still thank God when I go to sleep he introduced her to me.

I do feel sorry for couples like this, I don’t approve of divorces as a general rule but it sounds like this couple needed to take advantage of one a while ago.

The late “Screamin’ Sam” Kinison, who died in 1992, once said, “I don’t condone wife beating....(yells) BUT I UNDERSTAND IT!”

“A 9-mm divorce.”

Gosh what ever happened to just throwing a little dog-a-poopie on their shoes?

..he was arraigned on first-degree murder and discharge of a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling..

possibly 2 life sentences. Gun laws are getting tough.
Will see which one the prosecutor can make stick, but his End is already determined.

Satan: “been married three times?”...
“Want a job?”

I know this is very very sad for the both of them.

‘You can’t even shoot,’ ” she said

Don't bring a mouth to a gun fight.

You can’t even shoot,’

I have a feeling that this comment did much to improve his accuracy.

Man, that wife was a ball buster to the end.

This doesn’t quite warrant an entry into the Darwin Awards, but she should get a plaque with a “Thanks for Trying” on it.

I guess she was dead on.

Dead right...

Dead on...

Dead wrong...

All of the above...

No kidding. You get a couple guys on the jury who've been around that block a few times, and they hear her final barb in the testimony, securing a conviction might not be a slam dunk.

Well, he’s an old guy. Room and board for the rest of his life, I guess. Could be worse. They might let him go free.

Only goes to show a man can take only so much b!tching before he loses his mind.

Hopefully he'll be executed for his crime...and perhaps then find peace.

If he goes to Hell, his punishment will probably be spending eternity with her in a one room apartment.
