A Florida woman allegedly shot and killed her terminally ill husband in his hospital room after the couple made a murder-suicide pact, police say.
Officers responded to reports of a shooting at Advent Health Hospital around midday Saturday, the Daytona Beach Police Department said.
They arrived to find 76-year-old Ellen Gilland confined in her husband’s room after having shot her husband, 77-year-old Jerry Gilland.
A three-hour standoff ensued before negotiators convinced Ms Gilland to come out and surrender, police said.
She was arrested and charged with one count of first-degree murder and three counts of aggravated assault.
