Bob Barker faints at shooting range, visits the hospital

Bob Barker fainted Thursday while shooting at a gun range in the L.A. area and was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center by ambulance, TMZ reports.

The retired host of "The Price Is Right," 86, was at home resting after being checked out and released, the site reports.

So what happened? Dehydration was to blame, according to Barker's rep, who originally said it was a reaction to medication.

I find it ironic that he almost died at a shooting range. Here he is so vocal about the humane treatment of pets and yet has as a hobby shooting guns which are used either to kill animals or people. Go back to Bowling For Dollars Bob.

I think you are an idiot! Shooting guns is also a hobby and something our military uses to protect our freedoms and yes if someone is about to harm my kids or family I would be prepared to use lethal force! do you not read the news, these criminals out there have no conscience. You just stand there and do nothing while they kill your family while I blow them away and go on living!

Apparently to some, its not ok to shoot animals, but ok to shoot humans. I believe you call that a hypocrite.

No TC, I believe you call that a realist.
