A 74-year-old golfer reportedly shot dead a man who was taking his dog for a walk.
It happened in Palm Beach County, Florida.
Robert Levine, a native of New York who now lives in Florida, faces charges of attempted murder after facing 64-year-old Herbert Merritt at the Kings Point Golf Course in Delray Beach, according to the New York Post.
Levine was in his golf cart when he saw Merritt walking his dog near the course, a police report said.
Levine is believed to have climbed up to Merritt, shouted at him, and then shot him with a pistol he allegedly pulled out, causing Merritt to flee.
Merritt was shot in the ankle near the 15th hole, according to police, who said Levine was not done.
Levine is believed to have received a stick and beaten Merritt with it, police said.
Witnesses said they saw everything from nearby balconies.
Police said officers found Levine standing over Merritt on the court. Merritt was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Levine was also hospitalized after suffering a medical accident at the scene.
