88-year-old man shoots his wife in her hospital bed (PICTURED)

An elderly man has been arrested after he barged into a hospital and shot his wife.
88-year-old William Dresser was also put on a suicide watch after the incident which occurred at a Carson City hospital in Nevada yesterday.
Dresser  shot his wife in her hospital bed on the third floor of the Carson Tahoe Regional Medical Center around 11.30am.
The Guardian reports:

The woman, whose injuries are considered life-threatening, was transferred to Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno, Furlong said. Her name and age were not immediately released.
Dresser was booked into the Carson City jail on suspicion of attempted murder and was on suicide watch, the sheriff said. His bail was set at $225,000.
Dresser, who recently bought the gun, came to his wife’s room in the rehabilitation ward, where she was alone, and shot her in the chest, Furlong claimed. No details of why she was admitted to the hospital were released, but officials do not suspect foul play as a reason for her admission.
Hospital security personnel and state department of corrections officials at the scene detained the man until sheriff’s deputies arrived. The Carson City hospital issued a statement saying the shooting was “a targeted situation” that prompted a two-hour lockdown of the facility.
A woman who answered a phone call at a listing for a William Dresser in nearby Minden said she was too busy to talk Sunday afternoon. Dresser has no known prior criminal history in the Carson City area, Furlong said
