A man describing himself as a witness to the shooting said the dead man stood in front of more than a dozen people participating in the class and ended his life.

This is the first one of these I’ve heard of in front of a class, but there’s been enough at ranges that rent guns, that many won’t rent to someone alone, they have to be with another person.
“What is with people these days? It almost is seeming like they are acting like some kind of mindless zombies offing others then themselves. No explanation.”
Many drug company commercials list “thoughts of suicide” as a side effect.
Think they’d sell product or stock if they listed side effects as “thoughts of ‘murder and’ suicide”?
You beat me to it.

On the assumption that one wouldn’t bring one’s friend to one’s suicide. I can see an angry man or woman bringing the spouse/friend just to get them back. Some people are just that crazy/mean/evil.
Don’t know.
I’m looking for the possibility that this man was some kind of gun grabbing nut who was trying to make a point.
Or maybe he was just disturbed (I know, same thing)
Yes they are.

Nice Pearl Jam reference. :0)
Guess he failed the course.
Hope he paid in cash.
In the words of Charlie Manson,...”Used to be a time when crazy meant something. Now everybody’s crazy.” :)
So, he was dead before he shot himself?........
Okay...it took me a second to get that, well played!
I don’t blame the witness. I blame the “reporter”.
I blame the editor.......if there is one.......
I would be willing to bet that he used a Range Rental Gun. If you would have had access to a gun, I think he might have committed this cowardly act prior to his training class. Probably in front of a crowd also. Would be interesting to know. I know that some employee’s of indoor ranges that are basically unsupervised get a little nervous when a questionable person with apparently NO or very little knowledge of what gun (caliber - ammo - eyes and ears) they want to rent for their paper poking. Also, I have been told by these peeps that along with these attributes, they really work up a sweat when this type of gun renter says that a;though he doesn’t own a gun, he brought his own target.
He might have been a DEA agent.
HA! I was wondering when the "hold ma beer" comment would show up!
Another arrogant self killing in front of a group, so he’ll go out in glory, in the newspaper and on tv. Whata stupid individual.
