The couple ran a consulting agency together and were working on a business project.

A Florida couple's fight over a Google search escalated to such rage that the wife reportedly shot her husband in the head. Tony Brown, a prominent businessman, was airlifted in a critical condition on Monday from his Fernandina Beach home after his wife, Lawanda Brown, 57, allegedly shot him in the back of the head, New York quoted WPTV report.

The couple ran a consulting agency together and were working on a business project when they got into an argument. Lawanda said that her husband, 58, asked her to search Google for a project template but she became upset with the tone of his voice, according to Nassau County Sheriff's Office. The woman told investigators that she only remembers her husband walking out of the room post the fight and then her memory became 'a blur'. Deputies arrived at the couple's home around 1:00 pm and found the man lying in a pool of blood.

The man was nominated in 2001 by President George W. Bush for a position in the US Treasury Department and also served as a former Riviera Beach Community Redevelopment Agency director.

The wife has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and is in custody at Nassau County Jail where she is being held on $500,002 (Dh1,836,462 approximately) bail, according to court records.
