Miami man shoots himself AND girlfriend in the head with a single bullet during heated argument in the home with her four kids present: Man dies, but woman miraculously survives

A man shot and killed himself in front of his girlfriend - before she was struck by the same bullet that took his life, cops said.

The incident happened around 4am in Miami Wednesday, at a home on the 11000 block of Southwest 30th Street.

Members of the  Miami-Dade Police Department were seen outside the domicile investigating, though the names of the two individuals have yet to be released.

The unnamed woman was taken to HCA Florida Kendall Hospital, officers said - revealing her condition to be stable. Cops said four of her children, all under 21 and from previous relationships, were home at the time, but weren't injured. 

The two were in a room having a discussion when the man pulled out a gun and shot himself, Miami-Dade police spokesman Alvaro Zabaleta said - before adding that it was the same bullet that killed the man that ultimately stuck her, also in the head.

As for the children - confirmed by cops to be a 12-year-old girl, 10-year-old girl, 9-year-old girl and 5-year-old boy from two prior relationships - were seen at the scene being reunited and embraced by family members

He added the incident was 'not necessarily a domestic attempted murder-suicide,' and that the man merely took his own life and, 'in the process, almost took his girlfriend's.'

He concluded: 'Everything is indicating at this point that the same projectile that impacted his head was the one that impacted the female as well.'
