ORLANDO, FL (AP) -- Authorities say a man fatally shot himself after renting a gun at an Orlando shooting range.

The Orange County Sheriff's Office said the man rented a gun Wednesday night at Rieg's Gun Shop. After firing at targets, deputies say he shot himself in the head.

The man was pronounced dead at Orlando Regional Medical Center. His name has not been released.

This is the fourth reported case of people shooting themselves at central Florida gun ranges since April. There was also another case in Delray Beach last month.
