     The incident happened while the students were returning from an evacuation due to a bomb threat.  "We all go outside and we're outside for like an hour and a half before we even go back inside," a student said. "And after the gunshot we're right back out and everyone is screaming. … Everybody's freaking out."

The police report says the bullet went through the man’s left hand and hit the side wall of the firing range. The shooter had taken the magazine out of his Glock 19 before inspecting the sights on the weapon, did not realize there was still a round in the chamber.
