My prayers are with you. I'm afraid I would have unloaded my clip on him. I think it would have been justifiable. He assaulted your wife with deadly force. I hope they catch the guy. I had a similar experience when I was riding my motorcycle. A guy came all the way across the road to the far shoulder to hit me. Busted up my left arm and leg severely. The cops never found him. Don't think they looked very hard. Now I'll live with the pain for the rest of my life. So I truelyempathizewith your wife.
