5 Dead in Gun-Controlled California After Golf Course Argument

At least two people were fatally shot and others burned to death following an argument at a golf course in Santa Maria, California.

The Associated Press reports that two shooting fatalities were 70-year-old Kurt Bracke and 78-year-old Richard Hanen. One of the men was found dead in the clubhouse, and one was found lying in the grass.

The gunman fled to his mobile home, which quickly burst into flames. The fire spread to other mobile homes in the park as well, and three people, including the gunman, were found in the rubble.

Police reported a situation where ammunition was sporadically exploding in the gunman’s mobile home. Police Chief Phil Hansen said, “All throughout the firefighting efforts, ammunition was cooking off.”

The Santa Maria Times reports that the two shooting victims got into an argument with the gunman on the “park’s pitch-and-putt golf course” prior to the sound of gunfire.

THE ONLY ANSWER IS CLEAR - California must ban >70 year olds, golf course/trailer parks, heated arguments, arson, murder, fire in the hands of non-professionals and club houses.

the “park’s pitch-and-putt golf course”

That's not a golf course.

“I think this was a par 3 course at the mobile home park.”

Doesn’t exactly sound like Pebble Beach.

Gotta show my wife this, she thinks the whole house is going to blow if my bunker catches.

On a side note, that was a hell of a lot of ammo I would have had fun with...

As is sometimes the case, there are some details apparently not provided here.

I'll withhold comment until more can be learned.

Didn’t realize how passionate putt-putt golfers are. Or mentally unstable. 😲

I’m not worried about my ammo cooking off. I am worried about the one pound canisters of black powder exploding as there are many stored.

Ban Golf!

This was putt-putt; a much deadlier situation.

It’s like Chicago, only not as frequent and definitely not the usual suspects.

Never seen a book called “Don’t Make The Old Golfer Angry”.

Maybe they meant $200K RV. I thought that was wierd too. No golfers in my old mobile home park. Horseshoes, marksmen.. more likely.
