Casselberry Police may still be trying to figure out what drove an Altamonte Springs woman to shoot her son and then herself at a practice range Sunday. But we have learned that she wasn't supposed to have been there.

In the police report, Marie Moore's ex-husband says she was barred from Shoot Straight, stating that she had tried to commit suicide there years earlier. Moore had even been Baker Acted for another suicide attempt.

Moore shot her 20 year old son from behind, before turning the handgun on herself Sunday.

Jim Copertino was a witness, just a few feet away as the chaos unfolded. "I just happened to have looked over, and I heard a shot," Copertino said. "He was going down, and she was falling backwards."

Copertino then jumped into action, trying to remain calm throughout the chaos. "He was already deceased," he said. "I looked at her, she was bleeding from her head. Blood was coming out of her mouth. I kicked the door open. I yelled outside to the people out there that we had shooters down."

Mitchell Moore, 20, was pronounced dead at the scene. Marie Moore, 44, was taken to Florida Hospital in Altamonte Springs and pronounced dead, according to the report.
