A deranged Florida woman accompanied her son to a firing range where she blew his brains out before turning the gun on herself. Police say Marie Moore, 44, thought she was an “anti-Christian” who deserved to go to hell. She had a history of mental illness.
Moore executed her son Mitchell, 20, with a single shot to the back of the head while he concentrated on a target at the Shoot Straight range in Casselberry, Florida.
Mitchell slumped to the floor dying as his mother stepped back, placed the gun in her mouth and pulled the trigger. She died a short time later in a local hospital.
The bloody scene was captured on security cameras. “I look and I see this kid collapsing, spitting up blood,” said eyewitness Bobby Davidowitz, who was in the booth next to Mitchell’s.
“I’m so sorry. I had to send my son to heaven and myself to Hell,” Moore wrote in a suicide note.
In addition to the rambling suicide note, Moore left audio tapes describing the voices she heard in her head telling her to kill her son. She said she heard God telling her: “You have a gun. You can do it.”
“I have to die and go to hell so there can be a thousand years peace on earth,” she explained in the two tapes.
very sad
this is crazy …. sad … just sad
omg, i can’t believe this ….so sad, he didn’t deserve this
this always scared me about going to the gun range. that their is no protection for you inside. i always used to say this to my friends that anyone can just lean over or walk behind you and kill you….and this happens!!..very sad.
I can’t even imagine…. This is tragic.
Lord have mercy on us all. These are indeed trying times. Peace.
YT is in SERIOUS need of gun control laws God is soon coming for the world parents killing their own flesh and blood is out of control
Brwn- I completely agree with you! This is what I was telling my bf about gun ranges.. Each person should be in a bullet proof booth that is locked from the inside..
Indeed tragic … I can’t today. This is so sad. I am sure all gun ranges aren’t set up the same. They need to review the safety protocol/procedure & makes some changes ASAP.
very sad….what is this world coming to???
Wow she sure picked the perfect place to do it too!! The man next to them is looking at his target still hadn’t realized what happened. He probably didn’t know until he actually turned around and saw it with his own eyes.
I guess her son trusted her because she was his mother BUT you couldn’t get me in a car with someone that’s had a history of mental illness much less a shooting range.
That’s absolutely horrible!
This world is coming to an end -every day-there are more and more stories of executions, shooting sprees, and families killing one another. On MSN headlines today there are several examples of the growing violence and insanity!
I bet this woman was on some kind of behaviorial medication, which is the link in all these recent shootings. Behaviorial drugs are making things worse. Further distancing people from reality and the value of their lives and others. We need a better solution.
damn,every time the news come on these days, it always starts of with a father who shot ex-wife and kids and then himself or mother shot kids.what the hell is going on?
