I was nearby when that happened, always wondered about the full story. You couldn't get anyone at NSC to talk about it while it was under trial.
NSC was the safest indoor range in Silicon Valley/East Bay/Peninsula area. -Sometimes bad things just happen. TargetMasters and Jackson Arms are nowhere near as close in safety and management. Reeds is pretty well run today and offers some excellent classes, though they no longer sell guns there.
Couple of important facts to remember from this:
Practice constantly to get a smooth draw from holster. Practice keeps you levelheaded under stress. Muscle memory works.
You can't tell if the BG is hit. Bullet holes are SMALL, clothes obscure and it is often dark. Keep shooting until the BG stops aggression.
You cannot count rounds under stress/combat. Cocktail loads don't work because you don't know what is actually in the pipe. Practice reloading instead.
Keep moving while under fire. Move away from fire to increase distance.
230gr. Hydrashocks don't allways expand even in 5" barrels.
