Mr. Ivey was pronounced dead at the scene, and Ms. Ivey was in critical condition until she died the next day.

A hospital spokesperson told Becker’s: “We are shocked by the domestic-related shooting involving a patient and their spouse in their early 90s that occurred in our hospital overnight. None of our staff or other patients were involved or harmed, and we have enacted our security protocols as a precaution.”
