Or maybe you could wait until all the facts are in before casting judgement.....

 

Instead.....

 

Thoughts and prayers go out to all involved in this....

Sounds like One guy shot another, not another suicide..

Lets not be like the media and assume. I prefer to wait a few days until the facts are released.

Where did you get this information from?

I would imagine from the part where it says a person is in custody

Shotgun to the chest?

Let me remove foot from mouth. I just saw they updated the story. Next time, I'll check the story before posting.

I just got this info direct from GFH:

"no one in custody single person self inflicted no one else hurt"

Shocked

Whether it was homicide or suicide, this is why I haven't stepped foot in a public range in over ten years, and why I never will. Between shit like this and the idiots who can't safely handle a firearm, no thank you.

A 25 year old renter. I have no prob with suicide. Your choice. But stop dragging others into it. Go fly off a fooking bridge or something. They got to ruin other lives while they are at it just pisses me off.

I feel bad for the kids family and all those who had to witness this... 

 

what a shame

He used his 18 year brother to get in because of the 2 person requirement. That kid's mind will be scarred for life.

Selfish!!!!

Toughen up.

 

But yes, I do feel sorry for the family.

As an aside, do you know someone jumps from the gwb on average every 3 days? I have to drive there some mornings and there's ridiculous traffic due to someone on the bridge. Researched it and it's every 3 days

Toughen up for what Frank? I've seen shit like that when I was a teen. It fooked my mind up for years.

I'm tough now, nothing phases me. It just pisses me off.

It really is the way to go. Quick, easy, a bit of an adrenaline rush on the way down. No muss, no fuss.

 

If I owned a gun range in North Jersey, I would try to encourage anyone suicidal to go that route.

F's up traffic for hours?

So John. You survived the trauma. And you're better for it. Yea the brother thing is exceptionally tough. But I have loads of questions.

 

Yes I'm sorry for the brother and family. And agreed the poor tortured soul that tried to end his life should have picked a better way.

Article Updated.

Capt. Eileen Tiernan of Woodland Park police confirmed that two Elmwood Park brothers in their 20s came to the firing range in the early afternoon for target practice with a handgun. At some point, one of the men turned the weapon on himself and fired. He suffered a chest wound and is in critical condition at St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center in Paterson. Police would not identify the man, who Tiernan believed to be in his mid-20s.

 

Tiernan said he gave no warning before he shot himself. It was unclear whether the brothers brought their own handgun or used one that belong to the firing range.

Disaster. When I'm caught in it I fantasize about helping them out

I know with the jumping to conclusions but if you already have a pistol why waste time to off yourself at a range? Seems like a waste of time

It was a rental Glock. Both walk ins.

Yea and it wasn't easy. It still haunts me sometimes today.

You know what we had back then to get through it? Nothing, nada, nobody. No counseling, no shrinks, no awwwww, lets hug him. Nothing but my old man that said suck it up and get over it.

I had no choice.

 

Regardless to the fact, even with all the help this kid has available today, I still would not wish that on him. It will always be an mage that is painted in his mind.

 

I also feel bad for the crew over there. Twice and too close together.

Can't they just put up some "This is a Suicide-Free Facility" signs?  That should stop this.

 

Gallows humor aside, this sucks, but it's not unique to anything that Woodland Park is doing.  RTSP has had two suicides as well, IIRC.

 

Not sure what the solution is, other than to have renters start operating rental firearms via something like this:

Not a bad idea actually. Not a tank, but a steel cable that locks the gun to the port and only can be raised enough to point down range.

Hmmmm, got me wheels aturning.

I certainly feel bad for the family of this person.  But incidents like that give all of us a black eye in the view of many of the public.
