A man who opened fire at a Metairie, Louisiana gun range was neutralized by armed civilian patrons of the establishment on Saturday.
Three people were killed in the shootout at the Jefferson Gun Outlet, among them a gunman who entered the shooting range with an unholstered and loaded weapon.
According to preliminary reports, Jefferson Gun Outlet employees told the unidentified man that holding loaded weapons outside of the business’s shooting range wasn’t allowed, after which the gunman shot two people. The gunman was then engaged by two “several” patriots. It’s unclear if those who returned fire were employees of Jefferson’s or customers present at the range. Jefferson Parish Sheriff Joseph Lopinto has revealed that members of the community opened fire on the gunman from both inside and outside the range.
