Guys, this is just insane - it really brings home the need for a range buddy/spotter.

Police investigate the shooting of Todd Getgen of Enola at a public rifle range on state game lands along Route 944 in North Middleton Twp.

Todd Getgen died doing what friends say he loved.

Raised in the scenic woods of Clinton County, the 42-year-old lawyer and Army veteran from Enola loved hunting, shooting and anything to do with firearms, including making his own ammunition.

“He would talk about weaponry,” said Charles E. Schmidt Jr., a senior partner at the personal-injury firm Schmidt-Kramer, where Getgen worked for about 10 years until leaving last month. “He was an expert on firearms, bullet caliber. He was very much interested in that. It’s an irony that’s what led to his death.”

Getgen’s body was discovered with several gunshot wounds around 2 p.m. Wednesday at a Pennsylvania Game Commission rifle range off of Route 944 in North Middleton Township in a wooded and thinly populated section of Cumberland County’s northern reaches.
