<p>An elderly woman in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/florida" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Florida</a> accused of fatally <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/shooting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shooting</a> her terminally ill husband in his hospital room has been released from prison on a $150,000 bond.</p>
<p>Ellen Gilland, 76, was initially charged with first-degree <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/murder" target="_blank" rel="noopener">murder</a> and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for the shooting, which police said was part of a suicide pact between her and her husband. When it came time to turn the gun on herself, however, Gilland said she couldn’t do it, according to police.</p>
<p>Previously, Gilland was held without bond. In late January, Judge Mary Jolley read the charges against her and denied her bond.</p>
<p>“Based upon the nature of the charge, Ms. Gilland, I am going to hold you no bond on the murder charge and remaining charges,” the judge said, <a href="https://www.fox35orlando.com/news/florida-woman-who-shot-killed-husband-at-daytona-beach-hospital-charged-with-murder-denied-bond-police" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to Fox 35 Orlando</a>.</p>
<p>Last week, the charges against Gilland were reduced to assisting self-murder/manslaughter and aggravated assault of a law enforcement officer, HuffPost <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/ellen-gilland-released-bond-charged-murder_n_6404c173e4b0586db70e4ee9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.</p>
<p>Daytona Beach Police Department officers were called to the AdventHealth Hospital on January 21 around 11:35 a.m. to find Ellen had shot Jerry with a single bullet and locked herself in his hospital room, police said.</p>
<p>The hospital was locked down, and hostage negotiators arrived to talk Gilland into leaving the room.</p>
<p>“They announced a code silver shelter in place, and that’s when sort of everything kind of became real,” Dr. Joshua Horenstein <a href="https://www.fox35orlando.com/news/police-say-daytona-beach-hospital-shooting-was-a-preplanned-murder-suicide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Fox 35.</p>

<p>“One of the doors banged open, and the nurse came in screaming like this is not a drill. She was semi-hysterical,” he added.</p>
<p>The doctor said he and two others hid in a closet in the emergency room for an hour and a half.</p>
<p>It took nearly four hours before police used a flash bang and a taser to get Gilland to drop the gun, though Fox 35 reported that she was never considered a danger to anyone else and that no staff or patients were injured during the incident.</p>
<p>The Gillands had planned the shooting as a murder-suicide weeks before Ellen fired the gun, Daytona Beach Police Chief Jakari Young told the outlet.</p>
<p>“They had a conversation about it, and they planned this approximately three weeks ago that if he continues to take a turn for the worst that he wanted her to end it,” Young said.</p>
<p>The police chief added that it was unclear how Gilland smuggled the gun into the hospital but that it didn’t appear the facility had metal detectors.</p>
<p>“It’s a tough situation where her husband’s terminally ill so she was already in a depressed state just based on her husband being terminally ill and knowing that the end was near,” Young added.</p>
<p>Young told other outlets that Jerry was planning to kill himself but had become too weak to pull the trigger, the Daily Beast <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/ellen-gilland-charged-with-murder-for-shooting-terminally-ill-husband-in-daytona-beach?fbclid=IwAR0yYbWQPmzdSjrQdhp37V5znvqOXIcZcUmp6nkmBwLv4P-Blqph3_vi2X8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. Initially, Ellen was going to shoot Jerry and then turned the gun on herself, but couldn’t go through with the plan, police said.</p>
