The eastside West Coast armory had a suicide last night.
Employees will not comment on it but did ask how people heard of it. As such suicides are common and the media do not to give credibility to the individual (just like sports streakers), the stress on these employees is no less.
I don't know what (if anything) can be done as a group, but I am sure that letting them know (at a later date) that your thoughts are with them.

That's not good. At least no one else was injured.

One thing I have learned in the last year or two is how frequent suicides really are.....

Yhea, I had heard about that but refrained from posting until it was confirmed. Sucks, that's for sure.

A co-worker of mine just did this last week. Another ex co-worker did about a month ago. Never would have guessed that they would have done it either. Totally out of the blue. The mess made after such an event isn't a pretty sight.

Jezus! What do you do for a living?

I'm a diesel mechanic. I don't think it's work related. There is just some strange voodoo going on in the world right now.

I guess you are one pain in the butt to work with

I think that would be obvious.

Eastside, Issaquah? I was at the Bellevue location 2 hours ago and asked. They stated "NOPE, Not here!!" They had heard the rumor too and was wondering who started it. Been a member there for years (lifetime Gold) and shoot the breeze with the guys often.
Hell, the libertard news would have been all over this especally considering this would support the concept that all guns are evil...
Do ya really think this wouldn't make the local news?

I've lost count of the number of friends who have killed themselves. Some less surprising, others very surprising. Depression can be very well hidden. Now I am more involved with dealing with suicides directly (recovering bodies), and it has really raised my awareness of how frequently. There are some common themes, though I am not a psychologist. I also wondered if it was better covered in the press, that it would reduce the rate, because people would try to get help for friends/family knowing how often it happens. (I don't buy the copycat argument)

[edit: nevermind, was at wade's in 97-98] a friend at work told me about it. she and her male friend were there practicing and he just put it in his mouth and done. right in front of her.

last year a coworker(1) did it too. was at another coworkers(2) house. coworker1 wanted coworker2 to show him how guns work, so he did. with that basic training, coworker2 popped in the mag, racked the slide and put it to his head. right in front of him.

Classic, sounds like someone lied to you bro.

I have no sympathy for this SOB. I'm told there were minors present to witness this.

That seems to be the word on the street.
