[...] unable to deal with the world he had briefly delighted, Walters, 44, hiked to a favorite spot in the Angeles National Forest and ended his life with a single bullet through the heart. Although Walters did not write a suicide note, he had left a Bible with several passages marked at Dunham's house in Mission Viejo, just before his death. Among them was John 16:32: "Indeed the hour is coming...each to his own, and will leave me alone. And yet I am not alone because the Father is with me."

the story happened but it didnt go exactly like that. The guy wanted to become a pilot but he had eye problems so he decided to build his own device. He didn't lose the gun but it broke. And he landed on an airport. It was lucky that his gun broke because he wanted to pop another baloon but if he did so he would of gun down to fast
