On August 9, an inmate at Castaic's Pitchess Detention Center was grazed by a bullet from an FBI shooting range, as several vehicles were similarly struck, prompting an injury report.
The incident illustrates ongoing safety concerns linked to the interaction of jail facilities and outdoor shooting ranges, leading to an immediate closure of the range involved.
In addition to this latest incident, the Castaic complex has a history of safety issues related to shooting ranges, including a serious fire incident involving mobile range trailers last year.
The Sheriff's Department's decision to close the FBI range after the shooting incident reflects a reactive approach to ensuring inmate and staff safety in the facility.
