If someone screws up and doesn't confirm that every weapon is properly cleared before people go down range, do not try to clear the weapon while people are down range.
Call everyone back behind the line, and then clear the weapon.
Do not approach the bench, or let anyone else approach the bench, while people are down range.
(I stress this because I had someone pull this on me, before I could stop him, working at OGC, once. Nothing happened in that case, the weapon had been cleared, but the slide hadn't locked back, and he suddenly decided he needed to fix that while people were down range. We had a talk, after)
12-year-old girl dies after being shot in head during target practice
The mother's boyfriend, 52-year-old Sean Frick, and Sydney had been shooting targets with a lever-action .22-caliber rifle when Sydney put down the firearm and went to check the target to see how she had done, according to the statement from the sheriff's office.
“Mr Frick noticed she had left the rifle loaded with the hammer cocked back so he attempted to make the rifle safe,” authorities said in the statement. “The gun went off when he attempted to lower the hammer.
“Sydney . . . had walked off the deck and was right in the direct path of the round.”
