Aww, cheer up. Maybe the incinerated corpses of a few recreational shooters will be found.

That's the second time that building caught fire. The first time was due to a lightning strike, IIRC.
I've done a lot of shooting at that range, including full-auto. Hope everyone at the scene is okay.

Haven't heard if there are any injuries, but also hope everyone is OK.

The 50 inside the building escaped safely. Thank God...it's a little more than a mile from where I work.
