That's real shame. I've never shot there, but that's a shame. I wonder if they know who fired off the tracer round.

Just did a records check back through January 2010 and got no hits on it.
The roof over the pistol range and a wall collapsed back in 2006. The incident closed the facility for quite a while.

Ah, that would be why I couldn't find it. I only searched back to 2010 and NFIRS digital is kinda sketchy prior to 2008.

I think it was just a couple months after they opened.

I'm pretty sure they've been there longer than 2006. They were there when I was going to UTSWMC back in the 90's.

I wasn't clear, as I'm on my droid... It was right around when the ownership changed. That's when I found out about the range.

Now I'm curious if it was the same section. Was the original collapse storm/spontaneous? I'll look at the TIS and see if there's anything.

Apparently, the person who was firing the tracers fessed up to it to DFD, according to the news report at 5:30 on Ch. 5
. The reporter mentioned the gent "had a clip of them".
