Fox NewsMANSFIELD, Mass. – Authorities are investigating whether the death of a man from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at a Mansfield gun club was a suicide or an accident.
Police say they received a 911 call reporting a gunshot victim at the Mansfield Fish and Game Protective Association firearms range shortly before 3 p.m. Monday.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene.
