A 70-year-old Pontiac man is facing criminal charges for allegedly shooting his wife in the face.
David Lee Montgomery is accused of shooting his wife during a marital dispute last Saturday. The bullet struck her in the jaw and “barely missed the carotid artery,” according to the Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office.
She’s expected to recover from her injuries, the prosecutor’s office said.
