Fun in Orlando
ORLANDO, Fla. -- A man turned a gun on himself at an Orange County gun range on Wednesday, prompting the range to change its gun rental rules. Investigators said the shooting happened at Rieg's Gun Range on South Orange Blossom Trail. An employee found the victim, 43-year-old Valentin Pepelea of Canada Day. Employees said the victim was a regular at the range, and they never had any problems with him. Witnesses said Pepelea was shooting for a while before he turned the weapon on himself at about 6:40 p.m. The incident at Rieg's was the fourth shooting and third suicide at a gun range since April, when Marie Moore killed her 20-year-old son before shooting herself at the Shoot Straight Gun Range in Casselberry. Three weeks later, Jason McCarthy, 26, rented a 9 mm gun from the same Shoot Straight and killed himself. A woman also shot herself in a suicide attempt at an east Orange County gun range in June. Good thing there's guns at those ranges, they'd have to stab themselves to death otherwise. |

Only boat to be hit by a jumper from the GGB was a fishing party boat and the jumper hit the bow. Everybody was in the back of the boat. |
