So sad.

R.I.P. both of them.

The poor man, i can feel for him.

Taking care of a paralysed wife, a full time job, never a moments rest.

My wife takes care of me, yes sometimes it gets her down, holding down a full time job, then coming home to care for me.

At least they were together until the end, i hope they they can now find peace.

R.I.P. a good man making sure they   went together.

Very sad. Another reason to allow euthanasia. If the religious nuts wanna argue about going to hell, that's someone else's business. Not theirs. 

Why was his wife also shot in the leg?

RIP ...  very sad ....    this was his only way to get peace ....

So sad, but I know of an even sadder story. I grew up in England we emigrated when I was 12yrs old. I had an uncle lived close by. His wife my aunty spend all her days that I recall in a wheel chair. Her face was contorted by a trip to a dentist that went wrong and a nerve was severed. Every now and then she fell and broke her hip. A few years after we arrived in Australia I had news from my grandmother that the aunty had died. I thought that was good news as now my uncle would not have to push her around everywhere and look after in general. A few months later he had an accident was run over by a runaway wagon at the local steelworks and lost both his legs. Less than 12 months later I was told he was now back at work in the steelworks using his artificial legs which had not been invented very long at that time. Thats about the saddist thing I ever heard. 

If she agreed

then he was a very brave man
