Holy Shit! California golf course dispute sparks shooting, fire; 5 dead

https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/california-golf-dispute-sparks-shooting-fire-dead-63895264
<snip>
A third body has been found in the rubble of a burned-out mobile home in California, bringing to five the number of dead in a shooting and fire that began during an argument at a golf course, authorities said.

Santa Maria police identified Kurt Bracke, 70, and Richard Hanen, 78, as the victims who were fatally shot.

Residents told The Santa Maria Times there had been a long-standing feud between the two men and the shooter that boiled over Friday at the golf course of the Casa Grande Mobile Estates in Santa Maria, a coastal city about 140 miles (225 kilometers) northwest of Los Angeles. The shooter has not been identified.

"These three guys were threatening each other for a long time," Keith Castro said.

He burned down his trailer and killed himself and his family rather than be arrested for 2 murders.

It has a pitch and putt at the center, with clubhouse and pool.

"Casa Grande Senior Mobile Estates", in Santa Maria, CA. Google it.

Who knew? I wasn't aware such a thing existed.

What is with these guys? You would think people would have mellowed out at that age and would just want to enjoy their retirement. What could be worth killing someone over?

Upset? Don’t calm down and deal with it! Follow your impulses and grab a gun!

Whether to self or others.

The miniscule amount of Defensive Gun Uses per year are not worth this cost.
