On April 10, Lake County Sheriff's deputies found 62-year-old Mark Dicara suffering from a gunshot wound to the leg around 9:50 p.m. at his home in the 100 block of Shoreline Road. Dicara told investigators he had a dream someone was breaking into his home and he grabbed his .357 Magnum revolver and fired at who he thought was the intruder, according to the Lake County Sheriff's Office.When deputies arrived, they applied a tourniquet to Dicara's leg because he was losing a significant amount of blood. He was then transported to an area hospital for treatment.The round he fired passed through his leg and had lodged itself into his bedding.
Dicara had a revoked firearm owner's identification card yet was still in possession of the gun, according to the Lake County Sheriff's Office.
