BURBANK (CBSLA) - A man shot himself in the head at a Burbank shooting range Wednesday and died, prompting a police investigation.

Paramedics and Burbank Police Department officers were called just after 3:15 p.m. to the Firing-Line Indoor Shooting Range at 1060 N. Lake St. on reports of the shooting.

When first responders arrived, they found the man unconscious and not breathing with a gunshot wound to his head, according to Sgt. Emil Brimway.
