A man was shot Sunday afternoon at the Nassau-county owned shooting range in Uniondale, Nassau police said.







Police received a 911 call about 12:52 p.m. reporting a male victim with a gunshot wound at the Nassau County Rifle and Pistol Range at Mitchel Athletic Complex on Charles Linderbergh Lane, police said.







The male victim has been taken to a hospital, police said. A police spokesman could not immediately provide his condition or say whether police were seeking a suspect.







A man who answered the phone at the shooting range Sunday hung up twice on a reporter seeking comment.







The range had been cordoned off Sunday and appeared to be closed down for the day.







The facility is managed by the Nassau County Parks Department and was renovated in 2005, to remove lead from the ranges and add a new roof and parking.







The range allows shotguns, handguns and rifles and has National Rifle Assocation certified instructors, according to its website.

Could have been an accident, it's getting to be hunting season, not everyone with the motivation to drop a deer is a gun guy, knows the four rules, etc... Maybe hold off on judging the deceased for just a little bit?

I'm hearing rifle and not a head wound (don't know if it's true), but that sounds a lot less like suicide.

Hope there is no potential liability attached to the range.

Why? They'll just tax us more to pay for it, they're used to it by now after all of the civil rights settlements brought about by our lovely DA.  And if they close the range the DA investigators will have to start driving all the way out to Calverton to surveil innocent gun owners.
