Police: Ohio woman shoots self at gun range, dies
SHARONVILLE, Ohio — Police say a woman rented a handgun at an Ohio indoor shooting range, got some instructions on how to use it and then fatally shot herself.
Police in the Cincinnati suburb of Sharonville say they believe Ann Fukuyama committed suicide Sunday at Target World, a public range that sells and rents guns and has a dozen 25-yard target shooting lanes. They say the 46-year-old Cincinnati resident died at a local hospital.
Witnesses say the woman gave no warning or indication anything was wrong.
But police say she may have attempted suicide before and they believe she went to the target range to kill herself.
Target World manager Jeff Mann says the range is operating normally. He won’t discuss the woman or the shooting.
