A suicide at a South Florida gun range led to the discovery of a second dead body in a Tamarac home as BSO investigators discovered it wasn’t just a suicide but a murder-suicide.

According to BSO investigators, a 52-year-old man walked into the Arizona Shooting Range, located at 4317 North State Road 7 around 10:40 a.m. where he rented a gun and shot himself in the head. No one else was hurt.

He was taken to Broward General Medical Center where he died.

When investigators went to his home to notify his 45-year-old wife, they found her body inside the house. Investigators have not said how she was killed or how long ago the murder took place.

This incident combines the best of our favorite stories. Guns are bad news for women, once again. Shooting ranges, especially in Florida, are anything by safe places. Of course the gun-rights crowd will defend a person's right to kill himself rather than admit that gun availability plays a part.

Another humorous aspect of this story is that although Florida is the number one most baneful state around, this particular gun range was named for the second place contender.
