Two people died on Tuesday night in a private shooting range in Bucharest, where a trainee shot his instructor and then turned the gun on himself to commit suicide, according to Mediafax.

The dead instructor was 56 and had 30 years of experience. He was also the manager of the shooting range. He was shot three times in the head and the chest.

His shooter - the second victim- was a regular client of the facility. He had been taking shooting lessons for a while, so he was not a beginner.

The police said it was unlikely that the shooting was accidental, according to Digi 24 news station. The investigators had no other information. Romanian group UTI owns the shooting range.
