Man shoots woman then kills himself at hospital in Florida; woman expected to survive

MIAMI – Authorities say an elderly man shot and wounded a woman and then killed himself at a South Florida hospital.

Miami-Dade police Detective Dan Ferrin told The Miami Herald (http://goo.gl/ecIFT2 ) that the man had called the woman Monday morning and asked her to meet him at Kindred Hospital in Coral Gables. The facility focuses on long-term inpatient care and rehabilitation for chronically ill patients.

Witnesses say the man and woman had a calm conversation, and then the man drew a gun and shot the woman several times after she started to walk away.

The woman was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital, about 7 miles away, and was expected to survive.

Police weren't immediately naming the man and woman or saying how they knew each other.
