    Took this from the other side. A very sad story that didn't need to happen..It really drives the point home as to Firearm Safety. May no one repeat this event..

    Here's a link to the story.

    There's not much in the media at this point, but the scuttlebutt is that this incident happened in the parking lot of the trap/skeet range and that the guy was attempting to pull a loaded shotgun out of a gun case barrel end first.

    CONCORD -- A 64-year-old man shot and killed outside a Concord gun club Wednesday was identified as Robert Pohl, of Alamo, authorities said Thursday.

    Pohl was shot in the chest about 4:40 p.m. outside the United Sportsmen Inc., a shooting club located at 4700 Evora Road in Concord. Contra Costa Sheriff's officials initially said the death was not criminal in nature but are going to investigate the death.

    They have not said how Pohl was shot or by whom. An autopsy found he died from a gunshot wound to the chest, according to sheriff's spokesman Jimmy Lee.

    Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact the sheriff's office at 925-313-2600.
