“Joshua Jamal Williams carried a pistol with an extended clip into the gun store and indoor shooting range at 6719 Airline Drive about 3 p.m. Saturday when staff told him to unload his weapon.”

Thanks. I hope the store has video that shows his mother he was not the innocent victim she is portraying him as.
Extended clip.... that’s a good one!
The message added: "Joshua ... was fired at by ... employees of the gun range and other folks in the gun range! He was murdered!
It appears that Joshua Jamal has a loving mother who believes that her son son was incapable of atrocity.
so I guess he was carrying a Steyr-Hahn or Mauser C96.They’re the only 2 pistols that load from a clip, everything else uses a magazine. Dude must have been a serious collector to have either of those
“A woman on social media identifying herself as Williams’ mother posted a similar message, saying, “My son did not go into that gun range shooting!”
The message added: “Joshua ... was fired at by ... employees of the gun range and other folks in the gun range! He was murdered! (Rest in peace) my love, you will be forever in my heart!”
Yeah, right. Unanswered questions: the extent of his criminal history; whether he possessed the weapon legally; if he was there after some particular person; etc. No one walks into a gun range/store with a loaded pistol in hand with benign intentions.
From the article you linked....
...The relative doubted Williams, who had gone to the store for target practice while spending time with his brother and some children, would have shown up spoiling for a gun fight at a place known to be a hangout spot for off-duty law enforcement ...
Spending time with his brother and, “some children”????
That sounds really strange. Were they HIS children? Were they nieces/nephews???
“Some” children just sounds very odd, to me.
“...when staff told him to unload his weapon.”
...and apparently he took it a bit too literally.
