Phnom Penh - A US man was in a critical but stable condition after suffering an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head at one of Cambodia's famous military shooting ranges, police said Thursday. Cody Mark Patrick, 33, had fired seven bullets of a 10-shot round at one of the capital's most popular tourist attractions before apparently deliberately firing a single bullet through his own jaw, according to Interior Ministry penal police chief Mok Chito said
"We do not know if he had a military background or what was in his mind," Mok Chito said. "He obviously brought a problem with him to Cambodia."
The bullet exited through the back of Patrick's head and he was rushed to Calmette Hospital, where doctors reported he was likely to survive, but did not give further details of the damage sustained.
In 2004 a 25-year-old US tourist shot himself fatally at the same military-managed shooting range with a K-54 pistol.
Shooting range officials call the incidents regrettable, but say they have no way of identifying and stopping potentially suicidal tourists.
The firing range offers tourists approximately 50 different kinds of weapons to fire, throw or set off, ranging in price from 20-250 US dollars.

If the tourist wants to commit suicide then shall do so in his own country and not in foreign soil.
Stupid white man!
I love this place. All you'll need are a case of beer and a few clips, and then let the fun begin there.
What had happened to the poor white man no difference from those who jumped off the bridge.
