A Costa Mesa man has been charged with attempted murder and elder abuse in the shooting of his wife of 50 years.
The Orange County district attorney's office said Monday that 75-year-old Kenneth Leake shot his 72-year-old wife five times while she was napping Thursday afternoon.
Prosecutors say Doris Leake was shot in the head four times and once in the wrist with a handgun. She was taken to a hospital in critical condition, but prosecutors say she is stable and expected to survive.
Neighbors called 911 and Kenneth Leake was arrested outside their home.
He's being held on $1 million bail.
If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of 60 years to life in state prison.
