Shotgun Suicide at Epcot: Some incidents at Disney World defy belief--or any attempt to be glib about them. On September 12, 1992, a 37-year old man entered Epcot Center after the park had closed. He brandished a shotgun at three security guards and demanded to see his ex-girlfriend who worked at the park. He fired four blasts at the guards and took two of them hostage in a restroom near the Journey into Imagination pavilion. As Orange County sheriff's deputies surrounded the area, the intruder released his hostages and emerged from the restroom. After exchanging words with the police, he put the gun to his head and fired.

<sarcasm>OMG we need to shut down the parks!</sarcasm>
Seriously though I am surprised deaths don't happen more often. The Walt Disney parks had 132,549,000 visitors just in 2013. So just in that year alone the average was more than 37 thousand people per day.
I'll bet you it is statistically safer to play and have fun inside their parks than the trip flying or driving there.
