Very tragic. I've had brass hit me as well from the port to my left. It's made me "situationally aware" of it such that I don't react to it anymore. I've even had a couple land in my polo shirt front pocket. It's all about the SA and the discipline. I think of all the lives that were saved in combat because a DI got after their recruits for "whacking that little sand flea."

Tragic.
Sadly just another example of unsafe handling resulting in a death.

On one of the first outings with my wife, she had a hot casing land between "the girls". I warned her not to wear a low cut top, but she wouldn't listen.
I was behind her and to the right and saw the whole thing happening and was concerned how she was going to react. Thankfully, she had the brains and awareness to put the pistol down on the shooting bench, she had taken the NRA "Women on Target" shooting course recently, before jumping up and down trying to remove the hot casing. She has never worn another low cut top shooting.

See poor muzzle and trigger discipline all the time. I've gotten to the point I don't go to indoor ranges unless there is only 1 or 2 people there.
Everyone I have taught to shoot learns that the first thing you do when there is a problem is to put the gun down with the muzzle down-range.

Preventable / Yes indeed
Sad / Very much so ...... I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
