A man shot and killed himself at the Plantation Rifle Range at about 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 17, said Jeff Parks, chief criminal deputy for the Whatcom County Sheriff's Office. Sheriff's deputies believe that the incident was likely a suicide. The man, who deputies believe was from Canada, rented a handgun at the shooting range and shot himself at the indoor range. He died of the self-inflicted gunshot wound, Parks said.
