CAPE CORAL, Fla. (AP) — A southwest Florida man faces a possible life sentence for fatally shooting his wife.

The Cape Coral Daily Breeze (http://goo.gl/xKWvo9) reports that 49-year-old Michael Young Jr. was convicted Thursday of second-degree murder. His sentencing is scheduled for Sept. 19.

Police say Young shot his wife, 49-year-old Sally Young, outside of their Cape Coral home with a shotgun in December 2013 and then turned the gun on himself. Young was transported to local hospital in critical condition but survived.

Authorities say the couple's 9-year-old son was present for the shooting but was unharmed.
