Mother kills son then herself in Florida Gun Range

April 9th 2009

Calmly, a mother chats to a bystander at a shooting range as her son prepares to fire at a target. Seconds later her son is dead, shot execution-style in the back of the head by his mother, who then turns the gun on herself.

Marie Moore, a woman with a history of mental illness, was able to hire a handgun at a Florida shooting range. Security camera footage of their last moments shows Mitchell Moore, 20, taking aim while his mother stands directly behind him with her gun levelled at his skull before she pulls the trigger.

As he collapsed dead to the floor his mother stepped just out of camera range and shot herself. “I’m so sorry. I had to send my son to Heaven and myself to Hell,” she wrote in a suicide note that was found in her handbag.

Bill McNeil, the deputy police chief, said the case was closed after investigations showed that Mrs Moore had signed a self-certification form at the gun range in Casselberry on Sunday stating that she was not mentally ill — the only requirement for them to rent her a firearm legally. “It’s all done on the customer’s own declaration,” he said, adding: “It’s a political topic that someone will have to take up.”

On Friday Joe Biden, the Vice-President, said that a new approach must be taken to deal with gun violence after a 42-year-old man shot 13 people and himself in upstate New York.

Mrs Moore, 44, had tried to kill herself previously and had spent time in psychiatric hospitals. In a recorded message left behind for her boyfriend she wept and talked about her belief that she was the Antichrist.

Mrs Moore’s ex-husband said she had attempted to commit suicide at the range before and had been barred. A lawyer for the indoor range rejected the claim.

In a second tape marked for police attention Mrs Moore left instructions leading them to a storage facility where she left 63 journals documenting her mental torment.

Police confirmed that Mrs Moore had been committed to protective custody under the Baker Act — the equivalent of being sectioned in Florida — in 2002 over an unspecified incident.

Commercial shooting ranges are not required by law to carry out background checks on customers before renting them weapons.

This is ridiculous.

Wow.

If guns had been banned and taken off the streets, does anyone really think that would have stopped her from killing her son? I don't.

What about the guy standing to the right. I don't know if he was associated with the family, but say he is a total stranger. Pretty fucked up to happen a few feet away from you.

I agree...Casey Anthony didn't own a gun...Neither did Susan Smith

all i can say to that is gangbangers hitting innocent bystanders would be less likely to do it without guns.

canadians dont get the 'gun thing' sorry.

This is true, and I totally agree with you...But..."Gangbangers" are criminals, and as such, are not allowed to own guns...Apparently criminals don't care about laws...

I won't allow a gun in my house because I have kids, and no risk, NO risk is worth taking with their lives...But, I'm not going to say that someone else (law-abiding, sane) should have their rights taken away because I don't want to own a gun.

The woman in this article wasn't allowed to use a gun either, because she has a history of mental illness...Apparently she didn't care about the law either...I'm not sure how changing laws will affect the people who don't follow them in the first place.
