Sad to hear that.

I think it's going to get sadder. I hope I'm wrong.

Me too. I've seen what RF and lighting can do to gear and people when you get in its way.

Heard it was TA 26. There are ranges right there. I'm guessing folks out firing at targets. So dumb.

Folks don't realize how many servicemen are killed each year in training accidents and incidents like this one.
