7 Japanese tourists among those killed in Busan shooting range fire.

Yonhap has news of a fire that broke out this afternoon in Busan (부산실내사격장화재), killing at least ten:
At least 10 people, some of them believed to be Japanese tourists, were killed and seven others injured on Saturday in a fire that swept through a second-floor indoor shooting range in this southern port city, police said.

The blaze broke out at about 2:26 p.m, and was extinguished about 40 minutes later, police said, adding that most of the dead were believed to have died from severe burns.

One police officer, speaking on condition of anonymity, said about seven Japanese are believed to be among those killed and injured.

As Monster Island points out, the Korean sign out front does indicate it's a place for screen golf, but the Japanese confirms it's an indoor shooting range. Here's a video news report from SBS, in Korean.
