A sports anchor's argument with an 'erratic' house painter who has pulled a gun on clients in the past led to him being shot 10 times outside of his suburban home. KFMB-TV's Kyle Kraska, 48, hired shooting suspect Mike Montana to work on the outside of his house in the Scripps Ranch area of San Diego months before he was gunned down in his Mercedes on Tuesday. The broadcaster was dissatisfied with the job so paid the 54-year-old for the work he had done before the pair parted ways. For months the disgruntled Montana, who has pulled a gun on customers who owed him money in the past, left threatening notes at the journalist's home.
