COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Joshua and Crystal Bradley thought the worst was over when she halted his suicide attempt at their home last summer. They were wrong.

Crystal Bradley was accidentally shot in the leg in August 2011 during the incident. She said she didn't blame her husband and didn't want to file charges, but the District Attorney's Office believed otherwise. Joshua Bradley spent a week in jail and faces charges of assault, reckless endangerment and prohibitive use of a weapon.

"If I get convicted of this, I'll be facing five years in prison," said Bradley, 25. "Then I'll get kicked out of the Army and won't have a job."
