On Saturday, professional golfer Eugene Siller was shot dead on a golf course near Atlanta. The police found two other bodies beside him. It is not clear who is responsible for the crime.
DGeorgia police combined three bodies into one golf course Discovery-One of the victims was a well-known professional golfer. As the Cobb County police said, the incident took place at the Pine Country Club in Kennesaw on Saturday. The police found professional golfer Eugene “Gene” Siller with a gunshot wound to the head. He was pronounced dead on the spot.
The bodies of two other people were found on a nearby pickup truck-they also had gunshot wounds. It is said that one of the two victims was the owner of the truck. The local newspaper “Atlanta Constitution” on Monday quoted the police as saying that the identity of the gunman has not yet been determined and is currently on the run.
The background of the incident is still unclear-the police did not provide any information. The media quoted witnesses and reported that the truck drove into the golf course and the golfer Siller wanted to see what happened. He was shot dead in the process. Jim Richerson, president of the PGA of the United States Golf Association, said on Twitter that he was “heartbroken for the senseless murder of Gene Siller.”
