BREAKING: 22 Year-Old Male Commits Suicide at Insight Gun Range in Artesia

BY BRIAN HEWS

Hews Media Group-Los Cerritos Community News has learned that yet another suicide occurred this past Saturday Jan. 19 at the Insight Gun Range in Artesia.

This is the second suicide at the range, located at 17020 Alburtis Ave. in Artesia, in the past 20 months.

 

 

Insight boasts it is “the largest indoor range in southern California, employing professional range officers.” It is unknown those officers were present at the time of the suicide.

The range is a Federally licensed firearms dealer with an assortment of pistols rifles and shotguns available for purchase.

The website states, “the unique aspect of shopping with us is that you get to shoot your gun at our range while the waiting period is in effect.”

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s detective Terri Bernstein told HMG–LCCN that the suicide victim was a 22-year-old male but could not provide any additional information because the family hired an attorney.

The website also states that the company “rents guns to shooters, those who rent guns must buy ammunition from Insight.”

It is unknown if the young male rented a gun or brought his own gun to the range.

HMG-LCCN will update when available.
