OSCEOLA COUNTY, FL (1-minute read) — A tragedy occurred in Osceola County on Saturday when a man fatally shot himself while handling a firearm. Deputies responded to a home on Caribbean View Terrace near Kissimmee, where they found Harvey Lee Brady, 24, lying on the kitchen floor with a gunshot wound to his lower abdomen.

Officials reported that Brady was transferring the firearm from the kitchen counter to his shorts when the negligent discharge occurred. Emergency responders performed lifesaving measures, and Brady was transported to Orlando Health South Lake Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
