Anthony Wysocki, 70, was transported to St. Joseph's Regional Medical Center in Paterson for treatment.
Judith Wysocki, who responders said had been caring for her husband, was taken to the Passaic County Jail pending a detention hearing in Central Judicial Processing Court, also in Paterson.
Besides attempted murder, she's charged with neglect of an elderly or disabled person and weapons offenses, Passaic County Prosecutor Camelia Valdes and Woodland Park Police Chief Eileen Tiernan said in a joint release.
