Thought I would share this, but I am a terrible blogger who can't figure out how to link. Here's the story from a paper in Perth:
"AUSTRALIAN twin sisters have been shot at a Colorado shooting range in a bizarre incident that has left one dead and the other critically wounded.
The 29-year-old siblings were simultaneously shot in the head at around 2.50pm local time on Monday at the Cherry Creek State Park shooting range southeast of Denver, the Denver Post reported today.
Reports suggest a suicide pact is suspected but police have not said whether the shooting was accidental or intentional.
One sister was pronounced dead at the scene and the other was taken to a local hospital where she underwent surgery and remained in a critical condition.
Arapahoe County Sheriff's Captain Louie Perea said the women were Australian and were not being named pending the notification of family members.
The Denver Post reported that their visas indicated one sister arrived in Colorado on September 7 and the other on August 19, with one scheduled to fly back to Australia on Wednesday.
Captain Louie Perea said the pair were traveling on cultural exchange visas.
Surveillance videos did not show the incident itself but suggested that there was no third party involved in the double-shooting, KDVR-TV said.
The owner of the shooting range, Doug Hamilton, told The Denver Post the women were shot almost simultaneously, adding they had appeared normal before the shooting.
"The ladies hit the pavement virtually at the same time," Mr Hamilton said.
"They were definitely normal," he said. "We are always aware and watching for signs. There was absolutely no indication."
