Reno man gets probation for golf course shooting      The ball
“came crashing through the bedroom window and it startled him,
and he thought he was being shot at,” Dunn said. “He anticipated
the ball coming through might have been intentional, and thought
there was potential harm.  “There’s no question the single shot
he fired was a warning or to scare him. There was no intention
to hit him,” he added.  Police said the golfer and his partner
ran away after the shot was fired, and it wasn’t until they were
safe that the golfer realized he had been hit. One or two
shotgun pellets had to be removed from his body at the hospital.
The area around the 16th hole was evacuated after the shooting.
Fleming drove to Dunn’s office, where he surrendered without
incident.  Fleming had no previous criminal record.  “He’s an
outstanding citizen and it (shooting) is just an aberration,”
Dunn said.   Rules for posting comments
