Officials said the suspect has not been caught yet and they are still checking the area as a precaution.

A witness said he heard five gunshots in a row. 

"Then nothing went on, and immediately members reacting like 'I think there might be gunshots' and then apparently somebody was down on the ground," He said. "Then it was kind of like a frenzy, everyone was trying to figure out what was going on."

Another witness said the suspect drove a white pickup truck onto the golf course.
