SALISBURY -- A man and a woman rented handguns from Bob's Tactical Shooting Range on Route 1 around 5:30 p.m. and turned the guns on themselves, according to police.

Both were transported to Anna Jaques Hospital in Newburyport where they were pronounced dead with gunshot wounds to the head, according to Salisbury police.

Salisbury police Chief Thomas Fowler said around six to eight people were present in the shooting range when the couple shot themselves. Fowler would not release the names of the victim pending next of kin notification. He did say they were in their early 20s and resided in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

Apparently one can rent to shoot without an LTC in MA.

Sad.

Nope - nothing to add.

Sad indeed.

Most ranges require a suicide check for anyone that shows up alone without their own firearm that wants to rent. Looks like they got around that by coming in together.

What's a suicide check?

The ones I know don't allow a solo shooter without their own firearm to rent at all. I don't know if they make exceptions for people who aren't first-time renters.

I know in NH they require a gun safey class if solo. I. Believe the article says two people were involved so this would have been unavoidable anywhere in the country

I read they were a both addicted to heroin and were struggling to get by and to kick the habit.

The range has changed its policy http://originalbobsshootingrange.com/ so you must have a MA license to shoot or be accompanied by someone who does.
