All About Pocket Knives

Need some assistance guys. I was shooting at our local indoor pistol range this morning on lane 4 when on lane 1 a young man age 25 shot himself in the head. I did not see it happen, but was 12 feet away and saw the aftermath about 30 seconds later. A prayer for the young man and his family if you could.

Very sad and I am very sad that you had to share this young man's misery.

Very sad.

Wow OC, sorry for him, his family and you.

Heavenly Father I don't know what is going on in this situation but I know You do. Father I lift them up to You in this prayer asking that the whole family receive Your mercy and that they all might be comforted. Father comfort and bless OC also for haven been so close to this tragic event. In the Blessed name of Jesus I pray. Amen....

I should further clarify that the young man was alive when they put him in the ambulance. I was detained for an hour to make a complete statement to the police as I was the only other shooter on the range. The police were reviewing camera footage to try to determine whether it was accidental or not. It looked absolutely horrible, but one has to hope.

Lord, you are the great physician. I ask that you give the doctor's skills and knowledge beyond their normal capabilities that they be able to repair the damage that was done to this young man's head. And Lord we ask that you, the great physician, bring the healing to his body okay and to his soul. Bring comfort and peace to this Man's family also.

OC, I'm sorry you had to be the witness to this. I pray for your peace and comfort as well.

Amen.

Heavenly Father, please bless all involved… witnesses, staff, responders, family and the victim with your mercy and healing grace.

As Jim said, Heavenly Father we ask your grace and strength for all who were in any way involved.

I'm lifting everyone impacted by this up in prayer.

That sounds horrible, prayers to those involved, and you as well. That is a lot to witness.

Praying for him, for his family, and for you.

How terrible...
His family will be in my prayers.
The Lord is our comfort and strength.

Prayers for the guy and his family, and for you witnessing this, OC. Don't be afraid to reach out for help after seeing something like this.

Prayers sent to everyone in this sad event.

Hope you are doing okay OC. Absorbing the shock of this can be a challenge.

I am doing OK. I realize that I was in the right place at the wrong time and the decision made by the individual had nothing to do with me. Pure chance encounter. I did lose some sleep the first couple of days, but not since.
