BELLEVUE, Wash. — Police are investigating after a 50-year-old man committed suicide during a gun-safety class at a Bellevue shooting range.

Seattlepi.com reports ( http://is.gd/MNJJSo) that Brian J. Parry shot himself in the head with a pistol Sunday during a class a West Coast Armory, a gun range and dealer with outlets in Bellevue and Issaquah. More than a dozen people, including children, reportedly were present.

3. I'm surprised this hasn't happened more often

These classes provide easy access to a handgun for suicidally depressed individuals - all without actually purchasing the weapon and then changing their mind. This, I believe, may be a concern for people whose depression is exacerbated by financial issues, and a gun-safety class is less of a financial blow than purchasing a handgun if they change their mind after paying.

4. Plus there's no mess for family to clean up at home

That's one reason people used to commit suicide at hotels.

5. I'm sorry he was suicidal, and I'm sorry he did it in such a selfish way

Forcing others to witness such a thing at their workplace is a selfish act. I'm sure he was in terrible despair to take his own like, but making others part of it ...

6. Educational

as to one of the main uses of guns.
