... Rafael Ubeda was in line for breakfast at McDonalds Restaurant ... He has a concealed weapons permit .. and was carrying a .22 caliber Derringer handgun in his coat pocket. He told Detective Mike Wilkinson his hands were cold and when he put them in his pockets, he must have hit the trigger and the gun fired.

He said no one in line with him reacted, but the manager of the restaurant asked him to leave, so he did. The manager then followed Ubeda out to the parking lot, got a description of his vehicle, and reported the incident to the Sheriff’s Office ...

Detective Mike Wilkinson responded and .. noticed blood on the man’s pants leg .... Ubeda .. was not aware of the fact that he’d shot himself ...

Ubeda will not be charged .. because Florida State Statute specifically requires the discharge of a firearm to be done “knowingly” ...
