There was nothing about the man who walked into the Lone Ranges Shooting Complex that Saturday, August 9, 2014, to suggest he was about to make a confession. He was just another customer, says Bradley Yates, who runs the gun range in Belmont, Perth, just south of the Swan River. Hed been in once or twice before. Each time, hed paid his money. Hed handed over his ID when the staff working on reception asked him for it. The former Navy sailor still wore his hair cut short, the way he did during his brief stint in the military.
