That’s when Hager told the deputy that he had shot his wife at 7:30 that morning, the affidavit states. “Hager stated Carolyn had a lot of illnesses and other ailments which required numerous medications,” the affidavit reads. “Hager went on to say his wife was in the northeast bedroom,” the document states. He said 78-year-old Carolyn Hager was sick — and that the medications she needed were too expensive. “I want to apologize, I didn’t call earlier,” the 86-year-old told a deputy who responded to the scene that afternoon, according to an arrest affidavit.
