Jail records show she was released from the Volusia County Jail on Friday.
After hospital workers heard a gunshot coming from Jerry Gilland’s hospital room, they entered and found Ellen Gilland standing beside her husband’s lifeless body in a pool of blood, according to a police report.
She pointed the weapon at the two workers and told them to leave. She said the same to a third staffer who entered the room. An officer’s bodycam video 10 minutes after the shooting shows cops lining the hospital hallway screaming at Gilland to “drop the gun!” After deploying the flashbang, SWAT teams busted in the room and tried to use a stun gun on Gilland but it failed to subdue her. She fired a single shot into the ceiling before officers could detain her.
