they just said on ch.13 a woman was burned last night and was treated and released, and a 51 year old woman (employee) was hit by a exploding smoke device and killed tonight. while discovery ch. was filming the same show.

Yes, now I've confirmed one dead (out of my respect for the source, I will not identify who was killed), at least 2 injured. Nitro Mike (his exact status is still unknown) and Lacy who will be in the Denver burn center for at least a couple of weeks.

ETA: These were 2 separate events at DragonMans (one Wednesday, one Thursday).

On Wednesday, another person associated with that filming crew was burned. That person was treated and released.
Investigators with the ATF and EPSO are on the scene.

Again, they've got bad intel on Lacy! She may have been "released", but that was for a transfer to a Denver burn unit. To be honest, I don't know if she was even taken to a Colo Springs hospital at all or just transported directly to Denver.

What's going on is there re too many idiots out there. The RO's do a great job but can only see so much. I used to go out there a ton when I had the money and guns... But now there are too many idiots out there. I don't know what happened but I can guess it went something like, "Dude, they're filming over there!.... Watch this!"

I wish it were that simple, but the truth of the matter is that both incidents have occured at the hands of employees. They may THINK they know what they're doing, but even the super-trained Hollywood pyrotechnics technicians screw up some times and they're a hell of a lot better trained than the guys @ Dragonmans.

I read the article and chalk the lady getting burned to a completely irrelevant incident where the person was well enough to drive and then be immediately erased after treatment... Article fluff that has no bearing on the shooting incident.

We will have to wait until details come out about the shooting incident. Was a whole lot of "unspecified" in that article.

See my comment above about the lady being "well enough to drive herself to the hospital and getting released.

Mel's brother "Nitro Mike" was burned Wednesday but was able to drive himself to the hospital & was then released. Lacy wasn't as lucky.

Lots of careless behavior by the staff for the "entertainment value". All very tragic. I had read that the scene of Thursday's incident was "gruesome", and reading Mel's comment about the rocket going through his wife clearly meets that definition.

All very sad.

what are the chances that dragonman stays open after this?
