Bridget Quinn was 20 when she died on June 8, 2017, in Cape Coral, Florida, from an apparent accidental shooting at a condominium complex on SW 13 Avenue. She and an unidentified man were at the home when the shooting occurred about 10:52 a.m. Bridget was taken to a hospital and succumbed to her injuries; the man’s name and the status of his injuries have not been released.

A neighbor heard a loud bang and was approached by the man asking for help. Police reported the man had been preparing to go to a gun range when one of the guns accidentally discharged. Cape Coral Police Patrol Bureau officers, Major Crimes Unit detectives and Forensics personnel worked the scene, and investigators said it could take several weeks before forensic results and follow-up details are released. No arrests have been announced and police said there is no danger to the public.

Bridget was remembered online as a light-hearted, kind soul; a crowdfunding page raised more than $27,000 to assist the family and a memorial Facebook page identified her as a Hackettstown resident who attended Mount Olive High School and County College of Morris.
