Police said Tuesday they believe a Cobb County golf pro was not targeted when he was shot and killed Saturday afternoon at his Kennesaw country club.
Gene Siller went to check on a report of an unauthorized pickup truck that had driven onto the Pinetree County Club course around 2:30 p.m., police said. Shortly after, officers found him on the green of the 10th hole with a gunshot wound to the head, police spokeswoman Officer Shenise Barner told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Police believe Siller “happened upon a crime in progress” and was “killed because he witnessed an active crime taking place.”

Car-jacking? Drug-deal gone bad? Psychopath or serial killer? Who knows. More information on the other two decedents could probably shed a lot more light.

Police are being unusually tight-lipped and reporters today don’t want to dig particularly if they think it might shine poorly on a protected class.

That’s it. Protecting certain classes takes precedent over exposing the crime.
The story in the last day or two was that he drove his pickup into a sand trap and there were two already-dead bodies in the back of the truck. When the Pro went over to see what was going on, he was shot dead.
Incredibly weird story. The poor dead Pro leaves behind a wife and kids.
The nation is full of so many sickos these days.
That would make sense if this all happened in the parking lot. But, it didn’t. It happened on the actual golf course with the truck being stuck teetering on a swale next to a greenside bunker, which can be seen in this CNN story...
That hardly seems like an ideal location for a drug deal. But, like I said, who knows at this point.
The truck’s presence on the golf course is why the golf pro went to investigate. And for that, he was shot in the head four or five times.
*ping*
An earlier story said that earlier in the week an unidentified man got all irate because he was kicked of the course for fishing in one of the ponds.
The nutcase could have returned for revenge?

he WAS targeted.
he was not hit by stray gunfire
some people did some thing
That’s interesting. I had not heard that, not even from friends who live very near the shooting.
What really irritates me is the police say in their statement that it’s ‘too early to speculate’ on motive and in the very next breath, they reassure readers that there’s no continuing threat to the public. How can they possibly know that if they don’t know why these three are dead?
Good point.
The only way to get a truck on that green is from a cul-de-sac. (Frey Lake Court) there has got to be plenty of cameras that got enough pics of this.
2 dead guys in the bed of the truck, one dead on the 10th hole green.
Last word was the shooter was still on the run. Any word on if they are even looking for the shooter?
Yea he was targeted by whoever it was that offed him.
Did you pull the stray gunfire addendum out of your but ?
Headline indicates police say he was NOT targeted. I call bullstalin. He was targeted.
One story I read was that the truck, a RAM 3500, not a small vehicle, belonged to one of the deceased, whose body was in the back of the truck....................
