I go to this range on occasion. Very small. Maybe eight lanes. They had another suicide there a few years ago. Some guy took a bus from across town, rented a gun, walked out onto the range and shot himself.

I never thought this kind of thing would happen at a shooting range.
I always thought they were so safe except for getting nailed once in a while by flying brass.

“...and then the woman ran out of the room to get more ammunition.”
Husband hates when I do that. ;)

Wow absolutely appalling, this is just ammunition for the anti-gun freaks. Sad sad sad.

There was a suicide at a Cincinnati area range I had shot at;suicidal people are obviously not thinking clearly.The speculation of motives on the mother/son case is going to be something.

A range I went to in Bellvue WA some time ago once had a guy walk in, present all his ID, rent a gun, and promptly commit suicide on the range.
These things happen. If someone is mentally ill and out to kill themself, not a whole lot you can do about it.

I’m going to bet that all the people who would do this kind of thing at a shooting range are not legitimate gun OWNERS.

The level of desperation that so many people seem to be feeling these days is just frightening.
Prayers for everyone involved.

There have been a few other suicides at shooting ranges - sometimes involving handguns rented by the facilities. This is the first one I can recall that was a murder-suicide, though.

The recent spate of multiple shooting since obama took over makes me wonder if somehow the incidents aren’t connected.The more I see in life,the less I believe in coincidence.

How odd that she chose to do this at a gun range..
My son and his buddies shoot at this range now and then..and I drive past there all the time going to Publix.
Her name seems familiar but I didn’t see a photo in the Sentinel of either mother or son.

I never thought this kind of thing would happen at a shooting range.
Here in Tampa it happened twice at the same gun range.

Doesn't look like a kid that would do something like this. Guess I'm saying this looks to be all mom's doing. You're correct, the kid looked like he had a lot to live for. I wonder what the story on the mother is.

This sort of thing may be why my range DOESN’T rent guns......

I agree, and it is only going to get worse I fear.
