Man brings unauthorized firepower to gun range, starts actual fire

2/25/2013

An unidentified Texas man literally put the "fire" into an indoor firing range in Dallas on Sunday afternoon. The DFW Gun Range went up in flames after one of the shooters started blasting unauthorized tracer bullets at the targets. Each tracer has a small flare that's supposed to help the shooter follow the path of the bullet, but they're also "pyrotechnic" enough to catch the target's backing on fire. The 50 shooters who were inside at the time all escaped safely. According to the range's schedule, a class for beginning shooters was being taught at the time. Lesson one? Don't do what that guy just did.  [Source]
