Arraignment For Hospital Shooting Suspect Delayed

Akron police have delayed today's scheduled arraignment of the man who allegedly shot and killed his wife at a hospital on Saturday. Police say they need results of an autopsy being performed today to decide what charges to file against the suspect, but he will likely face a murder charge when he is arraigned on Tuesday. Police say 66-year-old John Wise shot his 65-year-old wife Barbara in her hospital bed in what may have been a mercy killing.
