The Deltona resident killed Saturday in what appears to be an accidental shooting was identified as Dalton Kincaid, 26 (DOB: 9/3/1991), of 2692 Corrigan Drive, Deltona. Witnesses at the home said a roommate had just returned from shooting at a gun range Saturday. The roommate complained of a problem with his handgun. He set the weapon on a kitchen counter and watched Kincaid pick up the gun to inspect it. The roommate turned around to open the refrigerator and heard the gun fire. The roommate and two other people in the house rushed to his aid and one called 911 for help at about 5:45 p.m. The victim, who was shot in the head, died moments later. Investigators at the scene said the shooting appears to be accidental.
