Miami-Dade police said an 87-year-old man shot a woman, who is related to his longtime girlfriend, in the hospital lobby before shooting himself. The man was pronounced dead at the scene, and the woman was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital. Her condition has not been released.
According to detectives, the suspect's girlfriend of more than 30 years died at the hospital Sunday. They said it appears that he was upset over her family changing the status of her will, including guardianship, and called the victim to ask her to come to the hospital.

The woman is expected to survive.
