Looks like she wasn't inconvenienced either by the bullet, or by the fact that she took someone else out with her. It's cold to say, but I hope that she had some time and pain to help her reflect on her actions before the end.

Interesting reaction by the instructor
Crawl away, now if she's been intentionally trying to shoot him she could have finished him off easily. He should have grabbed the gun from the floor and help her with her goal. Do we have a link anywhere to story and outcome? |

I'm sooooooooo glad the range I work at does not rent guns. The range down the road from us that does rent gets one of these every year or two and we have never had one.
It also makes me happy when a group of folks come in clearly without any experience at all and say they are here to rent some guns and I get to tell them, "sorry, we don't rent guns here. If you look at that wall there is a bunch of flyers from qualified instructors who can teach you the first steps of shooting and they will bring a gun you can use". Nothing is worse than a pack of newbies brought in by one guy who shoots a few times a year and has no idea how to properly instruct safety and how to not shoot the walls and floor and ceiling and target carrier . One of us RO's usually has to step in a babysit one lane. |

Buy a gun with your credit card and do it at home. You won't have to pay your debts if you succeed and don't traumatize others in the process. |

What actually happened there? Where did the instructor get hit? Why didn't he grab the gun while it was on the floor? Looked like he was going to, then changed his mind.
Run and Hide! It's interesting how people react to life threatening situations. If there was ever a time to go hand to hand, that would be it. |

I responded to a suicide attempt in which an 18 year old male stuck his Dad's 12ga. Remington 1100 under his chin and pulled the trigger in Mom and Dad's walk-in closet.
Apparently the barrel was too long, so he cocked his back to get it under his chin. He didn't kill himself, but but blew his bottom jaw completely off, leaving teeth and pieces of tongue, gum and lower lip stuck to the ceiling- the teeth were actually stuck in the ceiling. He looked like one of Michon's zombie pets from Walking Dead. He was conscious and alert. |

Local doc told me about a former patient of his. Elderly guy in his 70's who tried to commit suicide with a shotgun at home. Put the gun under his chin while he sat in his easy chair. Pulled the trigger and it blew half of face off. The way he described the face made me think of that guy whose face was split in two on the motorcycle (you know the one that makes him look like predator). He survived the blast, got up and went to the bathroom. Took out what was left of his dentures, then called 911. He waited for police/ambulance to arrive on his front porch. He "lived" for a couple of days at the hospital before dying.

Although seeing the prices at Target World, I can understand. I used to shoot matches there in the 90's. People were offing themselves in that place back then. Counter guy told a story about a dude coming in and rents a .38, buys a box of fifty rounds. Goes out on the range and starts shooting. He is the only one out there. Counter guy gets busy then realizes he hasn't heard any shooting for a minute. Looks out on the range. No guy. Knew right then what he was going to find when he opened the door. What cracked me up was as he finished the story he said "But it goes to show our reloads work" Had some good times at those matches. |
