Newtown, CT – ATF: Gunman, Mother Visited Shooting Range

    7

    Three men hold their guns in cases as they walk to the entrance of Shooters Pistol Range in New Milford, Connecticut December 15, 2012. Not far from the shooting range, people in the small Connecticut community of Newtown grieved on Saturday over one of the worst mass shootings in U.S. history and police sought answers about what drove a 20-year-old gunman to slaughter 20 children at an elementary school. REUTERS/Joshua Lott Newtown, CT – Investigators say school shooter Adam Lanza visited an area shooting range but have not concluded whether he actually practiced shooting there.

    Ginger Colburn, a spokeswoman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, would not identify the shooting range in question or say how recently he was there.

    She says investigators have concluded that Lanza’s mother, Nancy, visited shooting ranges several times.

    Colburn says it’s still not clear whether the Nancy Lanza brought her son to the range or whether he ever fired a weapon there.

    Authorities say Lanza shot his mother in the head four times, then drove to an elementary school with enough ammunition to kill every student. He killed 26 people, then shot himself as police arrived.

    total craziness…impossible to comprehend. The Rav who did the Kel Moleh Rachamim tonight at the Memorial Service where President Obama spoke reminded us of that several of the kedoshim were yidden.

    “The only thing to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.”
    The license usually costs 5-10$ in your local police department and takes around 30-40 days to get it.
    One of the best guns are the ones that police carries “Glock”
    Cost is around 600$
    Good luck to all the crazy idiots that think they can attack innocent people
    They should know – next target is them
    It would be a good idea to take a safety course (not to shoot yourself in the leg)
    the cost is around 100$
