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.

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.

Here in Tampa it happened twice at the same gun range.

Yeah, you do the dance when you get hot brass that goes down your shirt.

More than a few folks have died at firing ranges, intentional and accidental. I remember a while back a kid getting shot in the head from a stray bullet from an outdoor range. There is no such thing as 100% safe folks, never will be.

Hot brass is a pet peeve. It always seems to get stuck somewhere in my shirt rather than just falling out. also, as a lefty, I have a problem with it sometimes hitting me in the face. Last time I fired a bullpup-style weapon the brass nailed me in the face, splitting my lip!
