nother stolen gun has been seized by Orlando police after a shooting early today at Universal Studios.
The weapon was found when officers stopped and arrested Eric Audifre on charges of opening fire about 2 a.m. inside the Jurassic Park parking garage, reports show.
Audifre, 28, faces at least one count of attempted murder in the shooting of Norman Sierra during a fight between two groups of patrons, reports show.
Sierra, 43, remains in critical condition at Orlando Regional Medical Center, suffering from a gunshot wound in the abdomen, reports show.
The shooting is being investigated with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, which has jurisdiction over stolen guns.
Audifre, who was being questioned this morning, previously has been arrested on burglary, drug dealing and grand theft charges. Those cases were dropped or adjudication was withheld, according to court records. Police and Orange County deputies do not know how many stolen guns have been used in more than 90 murders this year. But they say criminals and killers routinely arm themselves with stolen guns.
Central Florida authorities are still trying to identify who stole 134 firearms in September from a Clermont gunshop. One of those guns turned up at a crime scene in Orlando within two weeks of the massive theft.
