Hey Ladies and Gentlemen.
My heart is filled with sorry and sadness, as today I went to the gun club where I do all of my shooting. I did not go to shoot, but my wife and I went to offer our sincere condolences to the clug/range caretakers family. I believe there are mom and dad and 6 children.
I got home from the range on Tuesday at a shooting session as usual. I unloaded all of my stuff and proceded to evaluate my finding at the range. Unbeknownst to me there was a tragedy just twenty minutes after I had left the range. I did not find out about this until yesterday (Wednesday) on the news.
Apparently, two of the younger members of the family (sons) were handling their firearms at their residence (on the club site). One a teen, and the older just 20 years. The teens firearm discharged, killing his older brother.
This family was no strangers to firearms and hunting. I would say that all of them had passed hunters saftey.
I have only met members of the OGG family by casual passing while at the club. They are such nice people. Yes, they are Christians. The children are so nice to be around. They are very polite and respectful. The mother works around in keeping up with things on the club grounds. The father works for an aggregate company in town.
He has hand made some beautiful rustic furniture for the club house.
This morning, I hugged this man in so much pain, only our Savior in Christ will be able to mend his heart. He ask for prayers for them, and especially his son who was holding the discharged firearm.
I am asking all of you to pray for a family of strangers. My God, I feel so bad inside for them.
Please be careful.
