On March 13, 2011, Randy Gilbert Newberry, 52, opened fire on Virginia sheriff’s deputies killing two and critically wounding two others. Newberry used a high-powered rifle in the sniper attack, firing approximately 50 rounds in the assault. He was killed by police when he pointed a handgun at responding officers. Newberry’s neighbors were stunned by the lethal outburst by someone with no criminal history. He had renewed his concealed handgun permit three times since 1999, most recently in 2009.
Newberry was an avid hunter who liked guns according to neighbors.

Conceal Carry Permit holder kills cop
In 2009, Humberto Delgado Jr., 34, shot and killed 11-year Tampa police veteran Corporal Mike Roberts after the officer responded to a suspicious person call. Delgado was pushing a shopping cart which turned out to be filled with military gear, a Kel-Tec assault rifle, a Taurus .45 pistol, and a .22 revolver. He also had a Glock17 pistol in a backpack. When Corporal Roberts tried to question Delgado, a struggle ensued and Roberts was shot while on his back. Although Corporal Roberts was wearing body armor, a bullet struck him in an unprotected area and entered his chest. Delgado had been a law enforcement officer in the Virgin Islands for four years until 2000 and had served in the U.S. Army. He had a concealed handgun permit issued in North Carolina. Florida has reciprocity with North Carolina. A search of Delgado’s storage unit uncovered another firearm, a laser sight, a copy of Shooter’s Bible, and a certificate for completion of a firearms safety course. Delgado faced charges of premeditated murder and aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer.
On November 15, 2011, Delgado was found guilty of first-degree murder in the death of Corporal Mike Roberts. He was sentenced to death on February 11, 2012.

Tragic gun death or more gun nuts at play
Another one bites the dust. Another hot shot gun owner shot his friend to death during ... target practice.
If the bullet had hit an obstruction and hit his buddy. That would be a tragic accident.
No, the shooter shot his buddy who was behind the target.
God help me. Couldn't they find a way to hang the target? "Dude, I can't find a place to hang the target. Since they're only practice bullets, I'll hold the target up in front of me like this." Then, bang he's dead. Sounds to me like something that could happen in Georgia.
The facts are just as bad. Two guys are having a little target practice. They don't communicate with each other. One walks down range behind the target while the other keeps shooting. When the shooter notices his buddy is missing, he looks behind the target. There's a dead man, his friend.
It remains difficult to believe. But, some how it happened.
