94-year-old Florida man allegedly murdered wife because she had dementia

VENICE, Fla. — A 94-year-old man faces charges of first-degree premeditated murder after shooting and killing his wife because she'd had dementia, according to the Venice Police Department.

Wayne Juhlin shot and killed his 80-year-old wife on Monday night, according to police.

Juhlin told police that "he intended on turning the gun on himself and taking his own life after killing his wife, but the gun malfunctioned."

After the gun prevented him from carrying out his suicide, Juhlin eventually called 911 to reported that his wife was dead.

Juhlin was arrested and charged with first-degree premeditated murder. He is currently at the Sarasota County Jail.

Unprecedented Blackouts And $6 Gasoline: California's Energy Crisis

Millions of Californians may have just suffered an unprecedented, induced blackout by the state's largest (and bankrupt) utility, PG&E, just so it isn't blamed for starting even more fires causing it to go even more bankrupt... but at least the price of gas is soaring.

According to Fox5NY, citing figures from AAA and the Oil Price Information Service, the average price of a gallon of regular gasoline in Los Angeles County was $4.25 on Wednesday, 4.5 cents higher than one week ago, 57.6 cents more than one month ago and 37.1 cents greater than one year ago. It has also risen 86.4 cents since the start of the year. What is more troubling is that as California gas prices reached the highest level in the state since 2015, some Los Angeles area gas stations are charging more than $5 a gallon.

The gas price spike started last month after Saudi Arabia oil production facilities were attacked, and accelerated after three Los Angeles-area refineries slowed or halted production due to maintenance issues and no imported gasoline was available to make up for the shortfall, according to Jeffrey Spring, the Automobile Club of Southern California's corporate communications manager.

The shortage was made worse after local refineries cut back production of summer-blend gasoline in anticipation of switching to selling the winter blend beginning Nov. 1.
