A Georgia man suspected of killing three people last week, including a golfer at an Atlanta-area country club, has been arrested and charged.
Bryan Anthony Rhoden has been charged with three counts of murder, three counts of aggravated assault and two counts of kidnapping for the homicides at the Pinetree Country Club in Kennesaw, Cobb County Police Chief Tim Cox said in a press conference.
Golfer Gene Siller was shot only after approaching the truck Rhoden drove onto a golf course at the club and was not considered to be a target.
Siller was shot because he “witnessed an active crime taking place,” Cobb County Police Department said, according to WBS-TV.
