Cops have only revealed the gunman’s white pick-up truck drove onto the course and got stuck, with the driver of the vehicle then shooting Siller when he went to check out what was going on, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

So far no arrests have been made.

“We are still in the preliminary stages of the investigation and will provide additional details as they are received,” Cobb County Officer Shenise Barner told the paper.
