Man accidentally shoots self at gun show
OCOEE, Fla., Oct. 25 (UPI) -- Only clothing was inside two suspicious suitcases detonated as a precaution after being found in a mall in Ocoee, Fla., authorities say.
The Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel reported the two abandoned suitcases were detonated Saturday by the Orange County sheriff's bomb squad after Ocoee police suspected they may have been filled with explosives.
Ocoee police Lt. Ted Silberstein said by using a specialized robot, bomb squad members moved the suitcases from outside the mall's food-court entrance to a safe location where they were destroyed.
No one was hurt in the incident.
An ensuing examination of the suitcase remnants determined there was nothing dangerous inside, only clothes. Sheriff's officials said no owner identification was discovered in the remnants.
