Bystanders administered first aid until BC Ambulance attendants arrived and rushed the victim to Royal Inland Hospital.

He was pronounced dead a short time later.

Cpl. Jodi Shelkie says this type of accident is almost unheard of.

“A gun range is one of the safest places to be,” said Shelkie.

“There are a lot of rules and restrictions and monitoring done. I’ve never heard of anyone being injured on a firing range before. This was a very tragic accident.”

Police have identified the victim as a 50 year old man from Vancouver.

A social media post has identified the victim as Dr. Richard Cho.
