A Deer Park man who police say killed his wife and then tried to kill himself is facing murder charges.

Detectives say Paul Bonny shot and killed his wife Cathiana Bonny at their Eastwood Avenue home two weeks ago.

Police say the 34-year-old then turned the gun on himself.

Paul Bonny is still in the hospital, but has now been charged with second-degree murder.

Police say the couple's two daughters, aged 12 and 6, were inside a vehicle in the driveway at the time of the shooting and not hurt.
