West Side Pistol & Rifle Range, Manhattan

The bizarre suicide of Patrick Karorero happened June 3, 2008 inside the West Side Pistol Range on West 20th Street, which caters to Wall Street types, law-enforcement officials and shooting hobbyists. It's where Robert De Niro, playing cabby Travis Bickle in the 1976 movie "Taxi Driver," was filmed staring down a barrel of a gun.This is neither a celeb nor an overdose, but it hits close to home. it's the place where i go shooting and the kid shot himself in the head with a rifle... pretty ridiculous ... anyway, if you've read the book, you know this chapter explores interesting suicides as well...
