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 questions that REALLY need to be answered are:
Which one of Donald Trump’s golf courses is this, and why does he allow people to use guns there??

When will the CA legislators pass some putt putt laws and anti-fire laws.

The problem was a Gun shortage among the victims.
