Ferguson has been charged with murder but was freed a day after the shooting on $1m (£787,000) bail. A total of 47 legally owned weapons and 26,000 rounds of ammunition were found at his home.
A judge messaged colleagues to say he couldn’t make work tomorrow after he „lost it“ and killed his wife, according to prosecutors.
Jeffrey Ferguson, 72, is said to have drunkenly texted a court clerk and bailiff minutes after the alleged murder, telling them: „I just lost it. I just shot my wife. I won’t be in tomorrow. I will be in custody. I’m so sorry.
