You won't have any trouble verifying this one. Last night at National Shooting Club Range - www.nscrange.com - in Santa Clara CA, some nut case apparently tried to commit suicide by range employee. I don't have all of the details yet, but according to what I heard on the radio, a man rented a 9mm carbine, did some target shooting, and then went out into the store area. He shot the ceiling and some glass display cases, then herded the employees into a corner. Finally, one of the employees pulled a gun and shot him twice. I gather at that point they took the carbine away from him. When the police arrived, he wouldn't cooperate and show his hands, so the police shot him a few more times (with "plastic" bullets). The NC is in the hospital in critical condition. AFAIK, no one else was hurt.
BTW, I shoot there at least once a month, and had been planning to go sometime this past weekend. I'm glad I wasn't on the range, because I would have taken him down.
I haven't heard yet whether he was a first time visitor.
