## Summary

Former police officer Beau Lamarre-Condon told a jury he once fired his gun in the Royal National Park to test how loud it was while considering taking his own life. The account came during his trial over the deaths of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies, and offered the court background on his thoughts and handling of the firearm.

Lamarre-Condon said he was careful to ensure the bullet would not hit anyone, but particles entered his eyes after the first shot. He said he rubbed his eyes, then put a brown paper bag over the gun before firing a second shot; he told the court the bag was not intended to change the sound.
