The below video shows the incident and is graphic. Please proceed with caution. It’s tough to watch, especially knowing what is about to happen.
Is wasn’t immediately clear if the man was visiting the range with the woman, or if he was an instructor. In either case, he was extremely negligent in his handling of the firearm, and it resulted in a death.
It is an absolutely inexcusable event, and can always be prevented by common sense, and by following the simple rules of firearm safety.
