Florida Woman Kills Son, Self at Gun Range
« on: April 11, 2009, 12:34:26 PM »
CASSELBERRY, Fla. —  A Florida woman fatally shot her son and then turned the gun on herself at a central Florida gun range, authorities said.

Marie Moore, 44, of Altamonte Springs and her 20-year-old son, Mitchell, were sharing a firing lane at the Shoot Straight range Sunday, Casselberry police said. Shooters in an adjacent lane said the mother and son seemed to be getting along fine. A security video shows Moore walk up behind her son, point a revolver at the back of his head and fire a single shot, police said. She then put the gun in her mouth and pulled the trigger.

The son died at the scene, and the mother died later at the hospital. Family members told police that Moore had a history of mental illness.

The gun was rented from the shooting range.

I don't think shootings have actually increased. What has increased is the media reporting them. If we can believe statics less shootings and violent crimes are happening since so many states have concelied cary available.

The liberal media is our true enemy. Along with liberals in general of course. ::)

Yes Matt we are screwed!!!!!!!! >:( Since we got the new prez shooting have gone up all over the country. I really don't think it is due to the media reporting more of them. It would seem that lately there are a couple major shooting a week. I am not talking about your regular gang bangers killing each other off. This seems to be different. I think many people have lost jobs and times are tough. Now these people were not dealing with a full deck to begin with and then you throw in the extra stress of loseing a job and no money. These crazy people go over the top. I got so pissed off at my wife last night I just had to go upstairs to get away from her. We got to talking about all the shootings as of late. I said these people are not right in the head in the first place. She went on to say she would like to see every person who buys a gun go in for a mental exam. I hit the roof at that point. Dale

There really is an increase... we are up to about 1 a day now around here not all are fatal but on average 2 a week are.

But this event was going to happen with or without a gun... she planned to kill her son and herself for some time.

i  wish  they  would be considerate  enough  to jump  off a bridge
or  poison  or  overdose

over  dose  you  dummies out  there
it is painless  and not so  messy


not  much  difference  between  putting a gun  to  yours  or someones  elses  head
or  putting a cigarette in  you  mouth  or drunk  driving
both  are  psychotic  behavior

this  just  shows  that  their  are  NUTS  out  there
and  we  need to at  all  times  be  armed

funny  how  those  in charge  use  this as an excuse to disarm us

there are  some  really sick  people around
i  certainly  do  not have  any  answeres
other  than  be prepared  to protect  yourself  and FAMILY
and fight  any one that wants  to take  away you right  to do so

I do think that the current economy adds to the stress level and it will put some people over the top, firearms are a convenient way to do it.

This is amazing. I feel sorry for the poor kid, of course. I also feel sorry for the range owner and the other people at the range. Terrible.
