Several children saw the shooting, which occurred at West Coast Armory’s indoor range at 13216 S.E. 32nd St. in Bellevue [metro Seattle].

According to the business website, the gun range offered an entry-level handgun course the day of the shooting.

Participants paid $75 for three hours of instruction meant to teach students how to load and use pistols and revolvers.

What an absolutely selfish ass. I feel for his family and the folks in that class.

Well, at least the kids will know what a gun will do to you from first-hand experience.

Very sad... what’s also sad is the gun-grabbing liberals are going to have a field day with it.

I don't think I'd trust this witness...

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 explination. Crazy.

Kind of reminiscent of the ‘cartoon’ with the ‘instructor’ for a team of prospective Suicide Bombers:

While standing there, with a back pack on and sticks of dynamite showing, he is holding the detonator device and says:

“Now Pay Attention!
I am only going to show you this once”.

The shooter in this case sure went out of his way to ‘prove a point’ and, like the one poster says, at least the kids could see up front what happens when you ‘point and pull’.

Yep - and will no doubt cause huge problems for one of the few decent indoor ranges in the area.

The man is 50 year old Brian Perry.
There is one Brian Perry in Bellvue, WA who is an interior/exterior painter.
