Wife of Biotech Executive Charged in Shootings Talks to Media

The estranged wife of a biotech executive, who allegedly shot and wounded two La Jolla men, including her brother, early Wednesday spoke to Patch partner Fox5.

Bonnie Fletcher said her relationship with her soon-to-be ex-husband Hans Petersen, 49, was wonderful until he was fired from a job.

Petersen is suspected of wounding 53-year-old Steven Dowdy, a UC San Diego researcher and former business associate, and 43-year-old Ronald Fletcher.

Arraignment in the case is set for Friday in downtown San Diego.
