I guess if he was trying to look down the barrel with his mouth it could have been an accident.

Suicide.
Two shots to make sure how it works then straight to the chin. Probably a rental. |

I'm assuming he rented the gun there - or else why would he kill himself there? I'm surprised any ranges still rent guns to solo people that come in without other guns.

Right before he did it, he looked at the other lane to see if they were paying attention then very quickly offed himself.

Not gonna watch because I saw it in real life when I worked at an indoor range.
It happens more than you think. Person rents a gun goes in and offs themself. We actually implemented a rule because of it: if you did not bring at least one firearm of your own or were a party of two or more folks, we would not rent to you. |

Not sure what to make of that Because the ones that have committed in their heads already are at "peace" with themselves and act quite normal. The last one at the range I worked at, guy got a few bags(range reloads) of 357 and waited till everyone left and did it on the last round. He was totally social and normal with my co-worker behind the counter and the other folks shooting before they left. Actually kinda messed with my co-worker a bit about how normal he acted up to his departure. |

Did not know how to handle a gun. Made a fatal mistake.
Initially watching it I thought they looked down the barrel However after rewatching It. They may have put it in their mouth? |

Intentional. He was slow firing and looking around then had a long pause to think about what he was about to do. He put that thing in his mouth.

Basically every range with rentals that I've ever been to has had that rule. When I visited Orlando unarmed and swung by a range to shoot a few advertised suppressed rifles I haven’t had the luxury of shooting before- the RSO had to stand next to me the entire time. I flagged my skull mortaring an above the bolt induced malfunction in a carbine class last weekend and was like holy shit. |

There was a video some time back about some gal trying to shoot herself at a range. The RSO? was directly behind her while she shot. She twisted the gun 180 and tried to shoot herself in the chest. The RSO had "hands on" her but she got off the shot. I don't remember how the shot went, but the RSO was hit in the leg. Our range does not rent guns.

Definitely suicide. Geez. Most places I've been to won't rent you a gun unless you have guns with you already, to avoid this exact situation. Sucks for the people that had to witness that

Life insurance doesn't usually pay out for suicide, or at least for a set period of time after purchasing policy. He could have tried to make it an "accident" at what he loved to do.

There's too many of them to run a strong empathy, full-time, for the ones who got fucked over big time by the new family dynamic. The end of traditional liberal values have brought us to this fucked up place. Finding love and solace in who you have, even if its just a pet, works... |

Supposedly the rental guns at ranges in Guam are short chained to the table because of the amount of Japanese that killed themselves.

I'm going with suicide too. He looks like he put the gun in or up to his mouth. Looks too close to gun to be looking down the barrel. I also saw it looks like he looked at everyone else quickly then did it.

There was a range in Royal Oak Michigan along Woodward ave, it had the highest suicide rate in the nation at a gun range..They would just shut down, call the cops, hose off the floor and open back up. They eventually changed their policy https://www.dailytribune.com/2013/02/08/royal-oak-gun-range-changes-policy-to-stop-walk-in-suicides/ |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By tac556: Suicide. Not entirely that uncommon for someone to fire a test round before shooting themself either. Yeah they didn’t look like they were familiar with guns based on how they were holding it. Probably getting a feel for it and think about how to position it to shoot themselves. Idk why anyone would want to do it at an indoor range. I guess it’s like people rob banks because that’s where the money is. They should put it on a credit card to buy it and do a little plinking in the fresh air before they off themselves. Although maybe they can’t buy it. Do ranges do background checks to rent? Probably not. |

Probably trying to act normal. He looked like the average shitty shooter at a range. I've shaken my head plenty of time after the first few shots. I think he was going through the motions. |
