A golf pro at a Georgia country club was shot dead on Saturday afternoon by a suspect who drove onto the course in a pickup truck, which also contained two other bodies in the back, multiple reports said.

Gene Siller, the 41-year-old golf pro at Pinetree Country Club in Kennesaw, Georgia, was shot dead when he responded to a man driving a truck into the sand trap near the 10th hole, said Richard B. Taylor, a member of the club, in a Saturday night Facebook post.

Siller was found dead at 2:21 p.m., The New York Times reported, citing the police.

The unidentified suspect remains at large, and the bodies of two other men were found in the rear bed of the pick-up truck, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported, citing the police.

One of the two other dead men was identified as Paul Pierson, the owner of the pickup truck. The third victim has not been identified.

Cobb County police are still trying to determine a motive, according to The New York Times.

Shortly after Siller was found dead at the course, officials at the nearby Kennesaw State University tweeted an emergency alert to students, saying there had been a shooting nearby and that police were searching for a Hispanic male suspect, about 6-foot-1 and 170 pounds, who was "considered armed and dangerous." Just before 5 p.m., officials tweeted that there was no longer a "credible threat to the campus."

According to the Gwinnett Daily Post, Siller had worked at the course since 2019. He was also a regular competitor in Georgia PGA Section golf tournaments since 2007.

The Georgia State Golf Association and the Georgia PGA both posted statements in response to Siller's death.

PGA of America President Jim Richerson also said in a statement, published by CNN: "We are truly heartbroken to hear about the senseless murder that took place yesterday at Pinetree Country Club in Georgia that took the life of PGA member Gene Siller."

"PGA of America sends our thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathy to his family, club and the Georgia PGA Community."

A GoFundMe set up for Siller's family has raised more than $168,000 as of Monday morning.
