San Antonio police are investigating a shooting that left a 37-year-old man dead at a local gun range. The shooting happened around 11:30 a.m. Wednesday at A Place to Shoot located in the 13000 block of Pleasanton Road.
San Antonio pPolice Sgt. George Antu said the victim died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, but it was unclear if the man shot himself on purpose or if it was an accident.
"We don't know if he was clearing a jammed weapon, if he was trying to clean the weapon, or we don't know if he actually pointed the gun at himself and pulled the trigger," Antu said. According to Antu, the man rented a gun and a stall on the range.
The defensive gun-rights folks keep telling us how rare these things are and how there's nothing we can do to prevent them.
That's wrong on both counts.
