POLICE: NEV. MAN SHOT GOLFER AFTER BALL HIT HOME

RENO, Nev. (AP) -- A man has been arrested on suspicion of shooting and wounding a golfer after an errant ball broke a window at his home.

Jeff Fleming, 53, is accused of firing at a pair of golfers at the 16th hole on Thursday, striking the one who hit the home in Reno. The golfer was treated for minor injuries to an arm and both legs.

The suspect's neighbors told investigators that it was a "common, everyday deal" for stray golf balls to hit their homes, police Lt. Keith Brown said.

"The neighbors were shaking their heads, and we were shaking our heads, and no one could put rhyme or reason to this (shooting). It's crazy," Brown told The Associated Press. "I've been an officer for 25 years, and if you're here long enough, I guess you've seen everything."

1. No one could figure that out? For years...

golf balls are bouncing off the walls, off the roof, scaring the dog, breaking windows and not one person would eventually crack?

The guy was wrong to shoot the duffer who broke his window, but sometimes enough is just fucking enough.

2. What would have happened if he did not have a gun ?

3. Dunno. But he did, so he used it when he flipped out.

4. I wonder if his house was built before the golf course-

If you move into a house by the tracks, you're gonna hear trains. What nutjob!

5. I feel the same way about airports and shooting ranges

but they tend to be more politically incorrect than golf courses.

Nothing says I love you to golfers more that a massive amplifier with outdoor speakers and looping tapes of the 1812 Orchestra and Flight of the Valkyries

6. Well, you buy a house on a golf course, what do you expect!

But with that said, there may be more to it than just a "last straw". Normally, the errant golfer would replace the window...and maybe this golfer just told the guy to fuck off or something. There is often a trigger besides the one on the gun.
