It Can't Be Good When...

It can't be good when you see an indoor shooting range surrounded by cop cars all lit up, and yellow tape.


TOPICS: Chit/Chat; Local News
KEYWORDS: gunrange; reds
Coming home from a Friday night bite out, we drove by the Red's indoor range in Pflugerville, TX (just North of Austin) and witnessed this.
Watching local news and AM radio's going but no hint of what's happened, or happened.
Will update when I hear something - of course the first thing that popped into my head was a "raid" for illegal weapons, magazines, etc, but then I stopped that thought - "It hasn't happened... yet.".

The visceral reaction to the sight and thought surprised me.

Maybe they opened up a donut shop inside.

They just closed it so they could shoot their weapons without causing damage to or killing dogs or innocent bystanders.

No- it’s not good. The last time I saw that was a couple of years ago at our local range- it was a suicide.

I think you can rent guns there and some suicides have happened there before.

Yes, you can, and yes, that has happened there before.
There was no ambulance in evidence...

Exactly. The cops found out someone inside brought their beloved dog with them.

I’ve gone shooting at Red’s before. Hope everyone is okay.

Just got a reply back from KXAN News on my query:

Not sure -- we had a crew there just after 6pm and everything was already gone. PPD hasn't said anything.

Probably good news. I actually go to Red’s down in SW Austin and only ever get up to Pflugerville when I hunt doves on a lease over a corn field that brings them in by the thousands. You’ll get your bag limit in an hour.

"Police investigating after man shoots self at gun range
by KVUE News

PFLUGERVILLE -- Pflugerville police are investigating after a man shot himself at a Red's indoor gun range Friday night.
Police said the man is being treated at a local hospital.
No word yet whether it was an accident nor whether any employees or customers witnessed the shooting.
The gun range isn't commenting."

Personally, I'm thinking AD.

Thanks for the update, grobdriver. I’m glad to hear there were no fatalities, and that the only injury was self-inflicted.
