DFW Gun Range.............????????
« on: March 21, 2006, 09:49:54 AM »
Caught just a sketch on the news about the collapse. Not enough detail to actualy know what happened and how many were injured, if any.
Anyone here use this range? Was any of you there when it collapsed? Everybody OK, etc., etc. ?
This was just skipped over with a short report. Most of the time was spent interviewing Mary Lou who lived down by the creek and hearing the tale of sadness about her watching the water rise for 3 hours and her rescue, etc.

Someone please post an article or something. No idea about any building collapse on the news here.

Found this on the Dallas Morning News site.

---------------------------------------------------------------
The roof on the DFW Gun Range in the Love Field area collapsed under the weight of water. Employees say that about 2 p.m. Sunday, they heard what sounded like thunder when the roof began to fail, causing an exterior brick wall to give way. The wall fell on cars parked outside the building in the 1600 block of Mockingbird Lane.

About 10 people were in the gun range and protected by a wooden structure during the incident. One person, who was outside, suffered a minor cut to the head.

Thanks, glad to hear it was pretty much property damage only.

DFW Gun Range is on Mockingbird between Harry Hines and Stemmons. The TV show "Ed" was based on the guy that owns the place.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

Yea, proud nobody got seriously injured or killed in this. Could have been a lot worse.
