A shooting range in Bursa, northwest Turkey, became the scene of a close call this week when a customer turned his weapon on himself during a practice session — and staff intervened just in time.
Security cameras captured the incident on Tuesday. The footage shows the man raising his handgun toward his own head. Instructors on the floor spotted the movement immediately and rushed him. Within seconds, they had pinned him down, wrestled the weapon from his grip, and prevented him from firing.
No shot was fired, and no one was injured. The coordination between the staff members and the speed of their response are visible throughout the footage, which has since circulated widely on Turkish social media.
Authorities in Turkey have opened an investigation into the incident. No details have been released about the man's identity, age, or what led him to act as he did.
