A man in his 30s committed suicide Sunday, shooting himself with a pistol at a live ammunition shooting range in Myeong-dong, central Seoul.
Namdaemun Police Station said it checked surveillance cameras at the shooting range which showed the man shooting himself in the neck with a revolver. When they arrived at the scene, he was already dead.
No other customers were there at the time, just than the owner and staff.
All customers have to be accompanied by one staff member while shooting according to safety rules. A staffer went into the shooting room with the man, but was hit by a stun gun the customer was carrying.
He ran out of the room to seek help, but the man then killed himself.
The staffer told police that the man appeared to be sober and wasn't acting suspiciously.
