A man accidentally shot and killed himself Saturday in Osceola County while putting a gun into his shorts, deputies said.
The fatal shooting happened on Caribbean View Terrace near Kissimmee.
The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office said deputies found H L B lying on the kitchen floor of a home with a gunshot wound to his lower stomach.
Deputies performed lifesaving measures and B was taken to Orlando Health South Lake Hospital, where he later died, sheriff’s officials said.
An investigation and interviews of witnesses showed that B grabbed his gun from the kitchen counter and accidently shot himself while “placing the firearm back into his shorts,” according to deputies.
“This was an isolated event and, according to the investigation, accidental in nature,” the sheriff’s office said in a news release.
The Lake County Medical Examiner will conduct an autopsy.
