A few years ago, I pulled into a LGS/Indoor Range facility. Walking in, I barely noticed the man a few spaces over who appeared to be accessing his trunk by pulling down the back seat and leaning inside via the open back passenger door, obviously getting some shooting equipment. Fast forward 45 minutes during a sudden thunder storm and and one of the employees on his smoke break comes in and yells- "Who left their car door open?" No response, so he walks out there and quickly comes back in- "Call the police, a man has been shot".
It turns out the man, who may or may not have already been dead when I first saw him, had shot on the range with his 9mm P226, and was apparently reloading it with carry ammo in the front seat when he ND'ed into his chest. He got out, walked around to the passenger door, opened it, pulled down the rear seat access, and was attempting to get something out of the trunk (phone, medical kit?) when he expired.
The next three hours we a series of detective interviews and witness statement writing. Initially, the concern was that this could have been a robbery gone bad in the range parking lot.
May he RIP.
