I saw on THR that the DFW Gunrange roof collapsed today. We've had a LOT of rain in Dallas. Sure hope you and yours are ok.

I saw the report too - just checking in to see if anyone had heard from txinvestigator. Sure hope everyone is OK.

Just saw the report. News said no one was seriously injured.

txinvestigator, if I can help in any way, let me know.

I pray that all are okay.

Yeah, the roof over the main firing lanes collapsed, causing the left side outer wall to fall out into the parking lot, damaging a few cars. We have water over ankle deep throughout the range. We are going to be closed for a while.....

I'll know more tomorrow after the insurance adjuster gets by. We already have armed security there, and range staff will be around as well. We all have AR's so...............

Thanks for thinking of us.

BTW, what is THR?

The High Road, which is Oleg Volk's forum.

I read about it on PDO (packing.org), and there was a report from someone who pulled up right after the collapse.

Glad everyone is okay.

Man that sucks. Hopefully the only thing injured was brick and morter, which can be replaced. Glad to hear thet your not hurt TI, and I sincerely hope that noone was injured. Sounds like your going to be very busy for a while.

Sorry to hear about this. I do really hope that everything turns out alright! I hope that the range is back in action ASAP! I know it is going to be a long few days for you guys. Best of luck

Glad as well that everyone is OK. I had heard about it on the news, but there weren't any pics. Then I ran across a thread on GlockTalk that had a pic... looks pretty messy, and my heart goes out to the DFW Gun Range crew. Hang in there!

Oh... almost forgot the URL!

Hey, if I run down there real quick and throw some bricks on top, maybe I can get a new truck....

This morning's Dallas Morning News had a picture of just the north end of the building, with that crushed red vehicle with "ROOFING" prominently centered. I wonder if that appealed to some editor's sense of irony.

Judging by the looks of that picture, I'm very surprised that no one was seriously injured or worse, killed. Thank God. Glad to hear that your alright txinvestigator.

+1

I look at that picture an say to myself holy _____ ! I've parked there before.

Glad you are ok, and no one was badly hurt!

Try to look at it this way: the insurance will pay to re-build, and the range will be fixed right and start fresh. I know it is real hard, but try to put the best face on ugly events. And again, at least no lives were lost. Best of luck re-building!
