Please move if wrong forum.

I received this in an email and haven't heard any more. Anyone seen any details else where?

..you might know some of the guys.... some guy that was a honcho at the range where they just had the South Carolina State USPSA match last weekend just got killed at the range a couple days before the match, i think last tues/wed... the guy that was match director found him dead while inspecting the range before the match, then stepped down, and Jack Suber was director..... supposedly there was vid of the guy, shooting in a bay by himself, jammed, turns the gun back at himself to look at it, (but you know how the professionals are, they know how to do these moves.....) and BANG....... they found him the next day..... then the club pres is circulating, telling everyone that the video system was broke, blah, blah..... pretty out.....

Didnt hear anything but that sounds a little fishy. No one with time with a gun turns it on themselves.

Nothing on BE. Sure it will show up there as USPSA is a pretty close knit community.

Pretty sure this is concerning the same incident:
