When I was on my summer sabbatical in Canada there was a tragedy in California at a trap/skeet range. You all may have seen and posted it. I believe it was July 13 or so. I was not in close computer contact. But here is a cut and paste story:
MODESTO, Calif.—Investigators describe a skeet-shooting incident that killed a 71-year-old Modesto man as "truly an accident."
A Stanislaus County Sheriff's spokesman said William Herrmann died after a companion accidentally touched the trigger of his shotgun on Sunday, discharging the weapon. The blast struck Herrmann in the head.
The shooter, whose name is not being released, manages the skeet range at the Old Fishermen's Club west of Modesto, where the shooting occurred.
Herrmann was flown by helicopter to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The club's president said it was the first accidental death in history of the club, which was established in 1920.
THE SHOOTER WAS THE MANAGER OF THE SKEET RANGE!?! Jake
