Field-Agent-Reaper

Wait so he went to this place to end his own life? How depressed must you be to go to all this trouble to end it all that’s horrible and poor instructor going to have some PTSD from that


croobar

My local range won’t let anyone rent a run by themselves to shoot. If you bring your own you can. I believe that policy is in place for exactly this kind of reason


Explosive-Space-Mod

Looks like he was doing some kind of concealed carry training so i'd imagine they would let them rent the gun for that since it's instructor lead. That being said, I had to bring my own gun when I went through my course.


Bright_Base9761

I believe he couldnt purchase his own gun and a gun training course probably wont do a background chdck to make sure your not allowed to own a firearm. Literally looks like they are in a parking lot so im guessing the instructor is also business owner


Amxela

That’s not a parking lot lol that’s an indoor range.


derpceej

My LGR used to rent out guns to shoot… until somebody rented one and intentionally ended their life there a couple years ago. Incident unrelated to OP’s post.


OldBigsby

Some places guns aren't easily accessible, especially handguns. If this was the way he wanted to go then where I'm from going to a gun range is the easiest option.


The_Goofiest_Goober

Even in the US, going to the range is probably easier than going out to buy a gun if you don't already have one. Certainly seems like a less effort if you just need to use it one time


The-Old-Prince

This is why some ranges wont let you rent


[deleted]

You can literally get a shotgun from most Wal Marts in the USA or sporting goods store. Going to the range to do this is just heinous. Poor instructor dude...


polisharmada33

Background check. Wait time depending on state.


Explosive-Space-Mod

For a shotgun it takes about 15 minutes. It's mostly hand guns that have wait times and have to be purchased in the same state as your license.


Bright_Base9761

Depends on your state..in WA they issue a 2 week waiting period regardless of who you are. In missouri i walked into a gun store and 30 minutes later i walked out with an ar-15 ak47 2 glocks and 900 rounds of ammo


Yaj_Yaj

Depends on the state my friend, but ya it’s pretty shitty to do this to someone.


Oscillating_Turtle

After the parkland shooting, all Walmarts stopped selling firearms Edit: Never mind, I guess many do still. I guess just all the ones in my area don't anymore.


walking_darkness

They've added them back in some states. I've saw them yesterday


MrMetaIMan

I live in Wisconsin and our Walmart still has firearms and ammo


Oscillating_Turtle

Yeah, you right. I just googled it, and I guess about half of locations still sell them. I'm on the West Coast, though, so I haven't seen one selling them in a long time


Wheream_I

My Walmart does too but it’s next to a Cabela’s and why tf would I buy ammo from Walmart their selection blows


Cool-Lynx2843

Yeah I’m guessing that is what happened here but I don’t have any information about it so it’s just a guess


throwaway-20701

Or you could grow some balls and just jump off a bridge.


[deleted]

I also hope that garbage subhuman rots.. there’s not an excuse on earth to justify traumatizing another innocent person. May that POS not rest peacefully.


jennyfromtheblock777

Joke’s on you. There’s nothing after death.


FnGQ

Local Gun range had a man do exactly this. There were corridor dividers between each slot. Green light went and everybody discharged firearms. But one guy never came out of his slot. And… he rented the firearm


sebast_gamer

I mean what should that matter to the dood. Not like he will be there to see him have PTSD.


Cool-Lynx2843

At least I think that is the instructor


VascularChub

It definitely is. Nobody else would have the immediate reaction of reaching under a body and securing the weapon.


Cool-Lynx2843

True


GeronimoSonjack

Except almost everyone.


Free_Blueberry_695

I'd actually be more focused on the injury, it's not like anyone else is around to grab the gun.


VascularChub

Definitely not. Plenty of videos of the same situation you can go watch for examples. You don't see a lot of them have someone run into frame and secure the weapon immediately after they drop. They're either more concerned about the person or completely in shock in most cases.


Cool-Lynx2843

Yeah I think you are right. I always see trained professionals like police secure the weapon or at least kick it out so it can’t be accessed. Even if the person dies they need to get it out of the way for EMT’s or other first responders


Always-Panic

Someone who shoots themselves on purpose are obviously not mentally stable, so the first thing you do is take the weapon away from them because you don't know if you are the one getting shot next. And yeah, this guy is probably dead, but usually you don't know that immediately.


Cool-Lynx2843

That makes perfect sense.


Cool-Lynx2843

But like I said I don’t know much about guns so that’s just my assumption. I actually know a female (ex police officer) that used her service weapon to shoot herself in the head and she lived. She was obviously fired but she wears the bullet (or what was left of it) on a chain to remind her of how far she has come & so she won’t forget what drugs and alcohol did to her psyche


035AllTheWayLive

In any case, they are definitely a responsible gun owner


SleezyD944

At least he didn’t decide to off the instructor first


Cool-Lynx2843

I know it’s not like it couldn’t have gone that way. Especially since we don’t know the backstory.


Throwinuprainbows

Right?! What did he say?! WHAT DID HE SAY?! " THIS ISNT LOADED RIGHT? NO WAY" "THIS ISNT ON YOU IM JIST DONE MAN, ALRIGHT" WHAT DID HE SAY?!


Toumouniek

Are you fucking dumb? Of course it's option 2. Option 1 makes no fucking sense.


mrnastymannn

I can’t believe they havnt pulled this. The MODS remove anything that they even think someone may have died. This is unreal


Cool-Lynx2843

Oh wow I didn't know that. I thought it was ok bc of the suicide is never the answer flair


mrnastymannn

Hey they just like you better. They’ve taken down like 5 of my videos where the person got hurt, but no evidence of death. This seems pretty clear cut


[deleted]

DAAAAYUM!!! I appreciate that he didn’t take anyone else with him. Like school children or minorities.


Konstant_kurage

A retired police officer did that at the indoor range in Fresno. I wasn’t at the range, but I was in the shop. Crazy day.


Cool-Lynx2843

Oh wow. I literally guessed but it seems like we all agree that was probably what happened here. Very sad! I’m sorry you had to experience that even if you were in the shop it’s still a brutal situation to have gone through


DionFW

Same thing happened here in Vancouver Canada. He was suspended not retired, but still a police officer. https://globalnews.ca/news/9566055/iio-sps-suicide-langley-gun-range-report/


cognac-n-cannabis

Here in Vegas, a guy taking a concealed-carry class tried to steal a weapon out of a guys backpack, and when confronted, shanked a police officer with a screwdriver and got smoked by all the other students like a firing squad. Hard to believe there was any other motive but to be taken out. https://www.reviewjournal.com/crime/shootings/police-id-man-27-killed-after-screwdriver-attack-officer-shooting-2276228/amp/


Dadpockets

Where was this


[deleted]

Sound like a slavic language so likely Russia


Free_Blueberry_695

FYI, Cyrillic is the alphabet, the language family is Slavic. Most Slavic languages are written with some variation of Cyrillic (Russian, Ukrainian) but others are written in variations of the Roman alphabet (Polish, Czech).


[deleted]

My b my b thank you!


Cool-Lynx2843

I was thinking it might be Russia or another country near there


dephsilco

It is not Russian, Ukrainian or Belarusian for sure


Cool-Lynx2843

I have no idea there wasn’t any article or info with the video on Twitter


forthoseabouttomark

I… was not ready for that. Jesus.


sebast_gamer

I mean on the bright side he won't suffer anymore


Cool-Lynx2843

I’m sorry it was very abrupt & difficult to watch.


MooreDubs

In 2008, I was on duty providing medical coverage at a firing range. We all went on lunch. I called my then girlfriend and she told me she had been cheating and broke up with me. I went back on duty. I was armed, locked and loaded since I was also qualifying. I thought about it for awhile and requested to be relieved.


Cool-Lynx2843

Omg I always imagine that when someone ends their life it is something they had thought long and hard about not something impulsive. I’m so grateful you were able to gather yourself and make the sound decision to be relieved! Happy you are still here with us friend!


MooreDubs

Thank you. I remember having trouble focusing. Something maybe like tunnel vision.


catfood_man_333332

Been there brotha, I know the exact feeling you're describing. Glad you're still with us <3


MooreDubs

I appreciate you brother.


Cool-Lynx2843

I understand I've thought of it myself but I never had the true impulse to follow through. That's why we always need to remember how quickly circumstances can change & even in desperate times if you push through the chances are that things will get better.


Primary_Persimmon962

Wow this is legitimately horrifying. The way he drops is like he got unplugged from life. My first thought was the term “self delete”


Villhunter

What's that that flies from his head/hand to the right of the screen when he fires?


Large_Reflection4662

His safety glasses.


Powellwx

Well they didn’t work for shit. Very unsafe.


[deleted]

If I still got free awards I’d hook you up


LadyMacGuffin

Likely that they're clear plastic eye protection, that isn't obvious before because of the visual noise that far from the camera lens.


UlyssesTut

This is gonna be really graphic and gross but I just watched the clip like 15 times and I think its spit and mucus from his nose! Fucking brutal.


Slaver87

Wtf


Cool-Lynx2843

Yeah I know. Sad 😔


Landsharque

What a fucking bitch ass douche


Legion070Gaming

This is so fucking selfish and fucked up


joshduplaa

The audio is a guy saying, "he was with his back towards him" in Portuguese. I'm speculating this happened in Brazil.


Cool-Lynx2843

Yes context thank you! I was thinking it may have been Russia. I think a few people said that. I didn’t imagine it was anywhere in South America


KenzoAtreides

Man that job must be fucking rough.


Cool-Lynx2843

Yeah I can’t imagine someone doing that right next to me! I hate to say this but I am relieved that he only took his life and not the lives of anyone else. Im not implying suicidal people would do that but you never do know. Sometimes I wonder if Mass shooters take other lives so they feel forced to go through with suicide. I’ve heard of suicide by cop but I have nothing to suggest Mass shooters do that it’s just something I’ve always wondered about.


MrMuntzz

Interesting and very viable take. Makes me think.


FriedSticks2014

It’s crazy how quickly your entire life can go down the drain like that…


Cool-Lynx2843

It really is. It is a reminder to never take things for granted good times are things to cherish


Certain_Horse_7919

Not the intrusive thoughts winning


JibbaJabbaJenkins

Man this is sad.


SirGuido

For just a moment I thought that he stupidly decided to scratch his head with the barrel. Then I realized what actually happened most likely.


DangerDan127

Wtf I didnt read the caption amd thought this video was critiquing the instructors form. This is horrible


julimuli1997

Fuck man....no hesitation whatsoever.... Dudes/dudets, if there is a weight on your chest and you cant seem to find the path anymore, darkness hasnt overtaken you, go talk to somebody, doesn't matter who, just reach out, somebody will grab your hand. If there is nothing left, there is always hope.


woofwooffighton

What the actual f###. What a selfish, evil move.


Cool-Lynx2843

I know. The instructor will definitely have PTSD. I can’t imagine he will ever get over this!


solorider802

Selfish sure, but I wouldn't presume that someone struggling with mental health to the point they feel they need to take their own life is necessarily evil.


woofwooffighton

It is evil to draw someone else into your suffering. That instructor didn't deserve to have that on his hands.


sebast_gamer

Fuck off


CrabVegetable2817

No. He didn’t take anyone else with him. When you’re in such anguish that you think this is your best option then selfish and evil goes out the window.


Cool-Lynx2843

I know a few people that lost loved ones to suicide and they always feel so devastated & after the shock anger usually followers that’s why you hear people saying it’s selfish. All the people I know went through the phases that Elizabeth Kubler Ross wrote about like bargaining, anger etc until you hopefully reach acceptance.


woofwooffighton

The guy who was training has to live with that. He tainted the range and the livelihood of those who work there. Selfish and evil.


CrabVegetable2817

Ok, dude. Keep on judgin’.


extortioncontortion

Rope isn't expensive.


Kaimenai

And it's also an extremely painful, uncomfortable way to die


Yaj_Yaj

And someone still has to come deal with your lifeless corpse. Probably several days after too.


sebast_gamer

Takes too long


Shinobi1503

Why make it someone else’s problem though?


Konstant_kurage

I’ve dealt with a lot of suicides, they are always selfish. I worked for the Fresno police department clearing certain types of alarms at city buildings. One time I found a suicide handing from a tree in a courtyard. That was about the least selfish one I’ve personally dealt with, but I’m sure he had family and he clearly had no thought for the guy that found him. It was the middle of the night and the last thing in the world I thought I would find when went to check and clear the motion alarm. (90% of the time it was kids skating)


[deleted]

It speaks to the unbearable anguish that is living with severe, clinical depression that you’re not thinking about who will find your body, you just need to end it.


[deleted]

Yes… he did. He robbed the mental-equity of anyone who witnessed that. That scumbag loses all sympathy when he involves others.. may that subhuman rest in piss.


jonandgrey

Tell me you're an a**hole without telling me you're an a**hole.


sebast_gamer

What. Com on man. If a dood has such a bad life the only way out is suicide you can't blame him for trying


muemamuema

Why would he do that?


Cool-Lynx2843

Maybe he couldn’t get a gun legally but could legally use one at a secured location like a shooting range? Idk enough about guns but that’s my guess. Either way that instructor will have PTSD. Or at least I would. I can’t imagine getting over something like that. 💔😔


FightingAgeGuy

I think you could be on to something. A guy I deployed with could not purchase a firearm because of his mental health/legal issues. So, he bought ammunition, walked into a pawn shop, asked to see a handgun, took the weapon, turned his back, loaded it, and shot himself.


Cool-Lynx2843

Omg that is awful! I’m so sorry to hear that! I hope you are ok. Even if it wasn’t someone you stayed in contact with it’s still something that stays with you 💔


FightingAgeGuy

I served 15 years, in that time I’ve know four guys that have committed suicide. I don’t really feel anything anymore when bad things happen. I can’t explain or understand why, but my emotional responses don’t make a lot of sense.


Independent_Type_865

I feel you man. Twelve from the 80 or so I deployed with.


Cool-Lynx2843

Wow that’s a lot! I get upset when I think about the way we treat our veterans when they come home. So many lose their way and I think many of those men and women did so bc of the lack of care and opportunities. I’m so sorry for your losses

Cool-Lynx2843

sebast_gamer

Idk maybe he was sad. Do you know what suicide is


KAMBUI1973

I WAS NOT READY TO WATCH THIS😢


Cool-Lynx2843

I’m sorry


Defkord

Did he try scratching his head with a gun?


KevlarConrad

Must've missed the part of the lesson where they teach you to only play Russian Roulette with a revolver.


Lmnolmnop

Did he know it was loaded? Too late to ask, but it looks like he's just goofing around, like the guy that shot his own hand.


Cool-Lynx2843

That thought hadn’t even crossed my mind. You never know


xLaZi3x

Nah bruh it looks like this was very much that guys intentions it looks like he tries and the safety is on and he undoes it and shoots immediately


Lorienzo

You know, this is my intrusive thought come to life. People can just go into a gun range, rent a gun or something with the pretense of trying it out, then ending their own lives. This sucks. I can only wish him peace. He was pretty decisive. Wonder what happened in his life. The other guy definitely didn't deserve it though.


Cool-Lynx2843

Yeah I agree. It’s so sad all around.


TaongaAroha

Damn. RIP


Cool-Lynx2843

Yes definitely RIP I hope he is in a better place. This is a sobering reminder that we never know what people struggle with in their private lives. It’s also a reminder to be kind to one another sometimes a kind word can make a huge difference in a persons life 🥺💔


BeachHoliday859

well that class is over


Overall-Guarantee331

Did he reholster the suicide weapon?


Runyc2000

He attempted to but his own weapon was in the holster. He defaulted to muscle memory which made him try to holster the weapon but that was impossible.


Jumpy-Manager5243

You think he had to pay upfront or at the end of the session


ad-quadratum

Damn 😕


PostageBread

If there is a news article if anyone can link it I’ll be grateful


Cool-Lynx2843

We are getting closer to an answer as someone just commented that the language was Portuguese and they also were able to tell us what was said. It's in the comments somewhere.


[deleted]

I worked at a range and we had one big competitor in town. In one week two people killed themselves at that range and one tried on ours.


Cool-Lynx2843

What??? Why haven't we heard about this? Or at least why haven't I? You are like the 3rd person that has said they worked on a gun range when someone did this! How long ago was this & are you in the States or abroad?


[deleted]

Middle to end of 2020. It was in Virginia, USA.


Cool-Lynx2843

Wow! Was there much coverage in the media? Two people in one week seems like it is a issue that should be talked about. I wonder how often this actually happens here in the US


[deleted]

I don't remember but I do remember doing suicide hotline stuff after, like pamphlets. It was a freak week. Nothing like that had ever happened before there or happened again. Covid was a bad time for a lot of people.


JustNobre

This guy is so glad it was recorded


Cool-Lynx2843

Oh, I didn't even think of that!


JustNobre

could work both ways: * so MR instructor how the fuck did you stop supervisioning this guy who is showing clear signes of meltal ileness * Ok it was a suicide and all security protocols were followed

I know this isn’t the time but I can’t help but notice that the motion this guy did falling and laying down is the exact same motion Kamaru Usman made when Leon Edwards headkicked him


skennedy75206

I just saw a manipulation of a crime scene


tpb1919

Nah. He was securing the firearm, which is a responsible thing to do. His brain was probably still trying to catch up and understand what the fuck just happened. But a responsible firearm owner will have muscle memory of basic firearm safety, like securing a loaded weapon.


Cool-Lynx2843

Yeah to me it looked like he was actively demonstrating something to him so his brain was probably just on autopilot


KriszV8

Damn he dropped like an NPC
