Breaking: Groundskeeper at Trump’s LA golf course allegedly shooting at gophers with pellet gun
You know that face you make when, just as you post your breaking news on a groundskeeper at a Trump National golf course allegedly violating city code, news breaks thatSpecial Counsel Robert Mueller has impaneled a grand jury in the Russia investigation and West Virginia’s Democratic governor is expected to flip to the Republican Party?
The Washington Post’s David Farenthold, who won a Pulitzer for his campaign-season investigation of Donald Trump’s philanthropic claims, didn’t uncover this scoop, but he is on the phone following up.
Just talked to city mgr: City is investigating pellet-gun shooting of gophers by a contractor at Trump's LA club. https://t.co/NP5w1nlFbg

Whoa. According toCynthia Washicko of the Daily Breeze, a groundskeeper at Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes has been violating city code by opening fire without a permit. What do we know, then, about the rifleman, who is “ostensibly a groundskeeper” at the club? “its not clear what ammunition was fired, what safety precautions course officials took or whether staff should have been allowed to heft such firepower against a gopher in the first place,” writes Washicko, who adds that “a gopher or gophers were the likely target because the critters often wreak havoc on golf courses.”
Obviously there are a lot of specifics for Farenthold to nail down but plenty of time before the next round of Pulitzers are awarded.
The article doesn't say it was a pellet gun.
