"He Seemed Normal"


"OVERLAND PARK, KS — Bambi Hilburn, 38, of North Kansas City, and the boyfriend she’d met on the Internet just a few months back had never been to a shooting range.

"On Tuesday, they went to the Bullet Hole in Overland Park and now both are dead.

"Police were called to the shooting range at 6201 Robinson Road about 11:20 a.m. and found a man and a woman shot. Police do not think anyone else was involved in the deaths.

"`It was just a spur of the moment thing, them going,` Christy Gregor, Hilburn’s sister, said late Tuesday. `A detective came out and told us she was dead. We don’t know what happened.`

"She said she had met the boyfriend, but did not know much about him.

"`He seemed normal,` Gregor said.

"Matthew Bregel of the Overland Park Police Department said gunfire in the building was obviously common so the shooting did not draw attention. The layout is such that Hilburn and the man could have been the only two in a section, he added."

"The man had not been identified Tuesday.

"Gregor said her sister worked at a grocery store in the Northland.

"`The detective told us he would know something else` today, Gregor said.

"The popular shooting range has seen other killings, the most recent being in March 2010 when a man committed suicide there.

"In 1997, three people killed themselves at the Bullet Hole with guns they rented there. In response, the business instituted a 24-hour waiting period for new members."
