Has anyone heard about this? I just read it on the Internet:
Gunmen Abduct Tourists From Disney Venue
Two Connecticut tourists were abducted and robbed at gunpoint early Sunday after a Downtown Disney shopping trip.
According to the Orange County Sheriffs Office, a man in a black Volkswagen Jetta called out a question to the couple, who were staying at a Disney resort, as they walked through the parking lot shortly after midnight at the entertainment-and-shopping hotspot.
When they stopped to answer, the couple, Justin Stetzer, 20, and Jessica Dellacamera, 20, both of Branford, Conn., were forced into the car at gunpoint.
Deputies said that three men inside the Jetta drove the tourists to a gas station and forced Stetzer to withdraw money from an ATM.
The attackers later forced the couple out of the car in a remote location in Osceola County and beat them, striking Stetzer in the head with a handgun. But the two fought back against their attackers, and in the scuffle, the gun discharged.
That scared the men, who panicked and fled.
According to deputies, Stetzer and Dellacamera walked to a nearby Kissimmee home and called the police. They were not seriously injured.
