Goofy title. It just happened this evening and even with a refresh of the story which broke the victim/perp's name this is what they changed the title to.

If anyone recognized the name of the gun range this is the same range where earlier this month the mother shot her son while they were target shooting. Now this.

Not much more to go on with this one. I can't find anything yet.

Here is the link to the previous murder/suicide - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2223316/posts

For those that don't want to cut and paste to the other story:

Mother/son, murder/suicide

My old range had to restrict gun rental to range members only for that very reason. Massive publicity of one lunatic seems to draw more of them like flies. A pity, really.

Dear God, what a PAIR of tragedies! Hoewver, nevertheless, we must not let the Fed.gov take away our RIGHTS. The 2nd Amendment is SELF-incorporated to all government entities at every level. It is MORE ABSOLUTE than the 1st Amendment, or any of the others, because the wording forbids not only CONGRESS, but ANYONE from infringing on it. The 1st says “Congress shall make no law...”. The 2nd say “shall NOT be infringed!” Period! End of debate!

I try not to go to public ranges. I have several places in the country I can go with no people and no hassle.

A local range (25m, indoor) will loan you a handgun only if you come with someone else. Not very convenient; but on the other hand if you bring your own then it's $16/hr and shoot as much as you want.

Yeah, I normally keep a close eye on my “range mates” when shooting, but normally only worry about the sideways shooting gangbanger wannabes.

The range has had suicides before but never this close together and never this much publicity, as was generated by the mom shooting her son. The owner is probably calling it quits on the rentals just because of the copycat.

I don’t blame the range. Would not want a bunch of copycat suicide wannabes using my range firearms to do the deed.

Another news site reported he had mental issues, according to the family. Nothing else on this guy has surfaced yet.

I think I need to renew my membership at a local outdoor range.
