A woman shot her terminally ill husband at a hospital after agreeing to kill him and then herself | Business Insider

"Because he was terminally ill, they had a conversation about it and they actually planned this approximately three weeks ago, that if he continued to take a turn for the worse, that he wanted her to end this," Young said, adding that the husband did not have the strength to shoot himself, so"she had to carry it out for him."

Ellen Gilland arrived at the AdventHealth hospital in Daytona Beach, Florida, on Saturday morning and brought a gun up to her husband's hospital room on the eleventh floor. After shooting her husband in the head, she"couldn't go through with" killing herself, according to Young, and barricaded herself in his room.

Other patients in nearby rooms were evacuated and authorities engaged in an hours-long negotiation with Ellen Gilland, who police said did not threaten anyone else but would not put down her gun."At no time were any of the hospital staff threatened, or any other patients," Young said. It was unclear how she was able to bring a gun inside the hospital, which did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment. In a statement provided to The Washington Post, a spokesperson said:"We are devastated by the tragedy that unfolded at the AdventHealth Daytona Beach campus today, and our prayers are with those impacted."

Young said officers were eventually able to use a"flash-bang" device to distract her and get her to lower her weapon. She was then taken into custody and could be charged with first-degree murder.
