Two faculty from Trine University's Department of Criminal Justice, Psychology and
Social Sciences took part in the ribbon-cutting ceremony for a new indoor shooting
range and outdoor sports retail center in Angola.
Thunder Lakes, located at 2160 W 175N, held its grand opening Wednesday, May 9. The newly remodeled building houses two ranges, a retail shop with firearms and supplies as well as hunting, fishing and archery equipment and classrooms for educational classes, events or meetings.
