DAYTONA BEACH (AP) A woman shot her terminally ill husband to death inside a Daytona Beach hospital on Saturday and then barricaded herself in his room, officials said.
Daytona Beach police said they evacuated part of AdventHealth Hospital and were negotiating with the woman. No one else was injured.

Police said in a statement that the woman was not seen as a threat to staff or patients. She was taken into custody shortly after 3 p.m.
The woman, identified as 76-year-old Ellen Gilland, is facing a first degree murder charge in the death of her husband, 77-year-old Jerry Gilland, officials said at a press conference.

Daytona Beach Police Chief Jakari Young told reporters that the couple had planned the shooting.
They had a conversation about it and the actually planned this approximately three weeks ago that if he took a turn for the worse that he wanted her to end this, Young said, according to Orlando Sentinel news partner Spectrum News 13. Obviously, were unsure how she brought the gun into the hospital, but this was planned.

Probably should have killed herself right after she'll spend the rest of her life in prison.

This should bring to light that we need to be able to allow our loved ones to die on their own terms, but it won't.

We'll put our pets down the instant their quality of life dips, or they are "suffering", but our family members and relatives? Suffer away, because suffering is very, very profitable in our country.

I work in elder care. Trust me, no one wants to live to truly advanced age. It's not a life.

Agreed.

If you have a terminal illness that's going to leave you with prolonged, intense pain and suffering, why not have the choice to end things on your own terms? Saves you from going through that, and saves your relatives the anguish of watching you go through it. Also saves a lot of money (which, as you mentioned, is probably why things are as they are).

I work in elder care too and I've never heard one say they wanted to die. Their lives suck a lot but they still want to keep going. At least the ones I worked with. I'm sure there are some suffering greatly that would want to end it, but that's not confined to old people either

they have that. "death with dignity" but not all states or even countries allow own terms (only if there's a terminal painful illness imo).

It's really messed up that he asked her to do that. She's gonna have to live with that for the rest of her life and if the justice system doesn't show mercy she'll spend her final years in a jail cell.

Totally endangering somebody else's life when the gun is directly against the other person.

Depending on the ammo type it can penetrate and hit other things. So property damage at the very least.

Can bullets that already passed through a person ricochet? I don't see why not. Knew a girl that get hit by ricochet at what's supposedly the safest style of gun range. Gun range is literally designed to ricochet bullets into a "trap" as they call it.

Could They both not think of anything other then shooting him to death? Maybe smothering or overdosing him the guy to death?

Yeah, there were surely better ways of going about this than firing a gun in a hospital and inciting a panic.

Sympathy is minimal here.

I respect the right to choose to end your life, but this is probably not the best way to go about doing it

I don't agree with shooting him. That caused way too much disruption to other patients. Should have been able to find another way to do it I think. Could be tough since she's so old though.
