Worker dies when found gun discharges
Saturday June 21, 2003
NEW YORK (AP) A construction worker died after a shotgun he found in a trash container at a work site accidentally discharged, striking him in the neck, police said.
Orano Stepcic, 52, found the gun in a case he pulled from a container near where he was working on Woodward Avenue in the Ridgewood section of Queens on Friday morning, police said.
Police said Stepcic was examining the gun with a coworker when it went off at about 7:50 a.m., killing him.
An investigation is continuing, said police spokeswoman Det. Cheryl Crispin. Police were trying to trace the gun's owner.
Stepcic, who worked for a Queens contracting company, lived in Garden City Park.
