BELLEVUE, Wash. - A 50-year-old man shot and killed himself during a gun-safety class at a Bellevue gun range.
Brian J. Parry is believed to have shot himself in the head with a pistol Sunday during a class at West Coat Armory, a gun range and dealer with outlets in Bellevue and Issaquah.
Bellevue police spokeswoman Carla Iafrate confirmed that police are investigating the shooting but refused to release details. She said the investigation into Parrys death is ongoing.
The King County Medical Examiners Office earlier this week ruled Parrys death a suicide. He died of a contact gunshot wound to the head.
In an email, a man describing himself as a witness to the shooting said the dead man identified by the Medical Examiners Office as Parry stood in front of more than a dozen people participating in the class and ended his life.
